We want your back and neck to feel weightless, like a perfectly balanced rock stack. Light as a feather. Five minutes a day can open up your back to your natural, upright posture.
SMR stands for Self-Myofascial Release, a technique where athletes use tools like the Helix, RAD Roller, and massage sticks to apply pressure to muscles and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) to:
Reduce muscle soreness and tightness
Improve flexibility and range of motion
Increase blood flow and circulation
Speed up recovery after training or competition
The RAD Roller is the tool people keep within arm’s reach.
Built to target the mid-back, neck, shoulders, feet, and chest, it helps release tension in areas traditional foam rollers often miss.
The compact dual-ball shape creates focused pressure along the spine and surrounding muscles, helping open tight tissue without putting direct pressure on the vertebrae.
Whether you’re dealing with upper back tightness from desk work, neck tension from long days on the phone, sore shoulders after training, or stiffness from travel, the RAD Roller is designed to help you move better with just a few minutes of daily use.
Physical therapists, runners, strength athletes, hair stylists, and everyday users consistently describe it as one of the most effective tools they’ve used for trigger point release, fascia tension, and mobility work.

The medium-density design provides deep pressure while still offering enough give to stay comfortable during daily use.

Small enough to travel with. Strong enough for daily recovery.
This is the product that started RAD’s Colorado-built recovery system.
