The Helix flushes out toxins and enhances your back’s range of motion with its anatomical shape. It's designed to protect the spine because we think it's 'kinda important'! Your foam roller definitely can’t do that. Oh, and did we mention it’s also killer on calves, quads, hamstrings and hips?

Why Is RAD the Superior SMR Choice?

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 Helix Foam Roller is a compact, spine-friendly recovery tool engineered to deliver targeted myofascial release without the harsh pressure traditional foam rollers place directly on the spine.

Inspired by the natural curve of DNA and designed with a unique double-helix shape, the Helix helps improve mobility, release deep muscle tension, and support healthy movement patterns across the back, hips, neck, calves, quads, and hamstrings.

Unlike oversized foam rollers that flatten across the body, the RAD Helix creates focused pressure along the muscles surrounding the spine while leaving space for the vertebrae.

Physical therapists, chiropractors, athletes, desk workers, and travelers consistently use the Helix for upper back tightness, shoulder blade tension, lower back stiffness, glute discomfort, and post-workout recovery.

Its compact 16-inch design makes it easy to toss in a gym bag, carry-on, or recovery kit without sacrificing performance.

Built from durable high-density foam and ABS materials, the RAD Helix provides firm, controlled pressure while remaining comfortable enough for daily use.

The anatomical shape also allows users to regulate pressure more naturally compared to standard cylindrical foam rollers.

Whether you're recovering after training, improving mobility, addressing posture-related tightness, or searching for a deep tissue foam roller that protects the spine, the RAD Helix is designed to help you move better and recover faster.

What’s Included:

  • RAD Helix Foam Roller
  • Free access to the RAD Mobility App with guided recovery videos and mobility routines
  • Spine-friendly deep tissue relief: The patented anatomical shape targets muscles alongside the spine without placing direct pressure on the vertebrae.
  • Compact foam roller for travel and everyday recovery: Small enough for gym bags, luggage, and recovery kits while still delivering focused pressure.
  • Targets hard-to-reach muscle groups: Great for the upper back, mid-back, lower back, glutes, hips, hamstrings, calves, neck, and shoulders.
  • Improves mobility and range of motion: Helps reduce stiffness, improve flexibility, and support healthier movement patterns.
  • Ideal for post-workout recovery: Helps relieve soreness and tension after lifting, running, yoga, pickleball, travel, or long workdays.
  • High-density foam with controlled pressure: Delivers firm muscle release while allowing more control than traditional foam rollers.
  • Designed for daily use: BPA-free, latex-free, and built for frequent mobility and recovery sessions.

Q: What makes the RAD Helix different from a traditional foam roller?

Traditional foam rollers apply broad pressure directly across the spine and surrounding muscles. The RAD Helix uses an anatomical double-helix shape that creates space for the spine while targeting surrounding muscles more precisely.

Q: Is the RAD Helix good for upper back pain and shoulder tension?

Yes. Many users specifically use the RAD Helix for upper back tightness, shoulder blade discomfort, posture-related tension, and stiffness caused by desk work or training.

Q: Can beginners use the RAD Helix?

Yes. Users can easily control pressure by adjusting body weight and positioning, although the targeted pressure may feel more intense than a standard foam roller at first.

Q: Is the RAD Helix good for travel?

Absolutely. The compact size is one of the Helix’s most praised features. It fits easily into carry-ons, gym bags, and recovery kits without the bulk of traditional foam rollers.

Q: What muscles can I use the RAD Helix on?

The RAD Helix is commonly used on the upper back, mid-back, lower back, glutes, hips, hamstrings, quads, calves, neck, and forearms.

Q: Does the RAD Helix help with fascia and mobility?

Yes. The focused pressure helps release tight fascia, improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and support healthier movement patterns and mobility.

Q: Is the RAD Helix safe for the spine?

The Helix was specifically designed to help avoid direct spinal pressure while still targeting surrounding muscle tissue. Its arched center supports safer spinal alignment compared to traditional foam rollers.

Q: What material is the RAD Helix made from?

The RAD Helix is made from durable high-density foam with an ABS core. It is BPA-free and latex-free.

Q: Can I use the RAD Helix every day?

Yes. The RAD Helix is designed for daily mobility work, recovery sessions, and muscle maintenance.

Q: Does the RAD Helix come with workouts or instructions?

Yes. The RAD Mobility App includes guided recovery routines, tutorials, and mobility videos to help users get the most from the Helix.
