the only thing better than one mini (un)Block is two! The mini therapy (un)Block for myofascial release, increased mobility and pain relief

The next evolution of sport massage tools: the rounded edges of a massage ball with the stability of a yoga block, without the weight. 
Possibly the most versatile, effective, on-demand self-massage tool you can get.

Full body use for big and small areas for on-demand relief of tight, tense muscles. At 3" x 3.5" x 6.5” the pill-shaped mini packs more punch than it's big brother. For less pressure on the go, wrap it in a towel.

  • use flat for more narrow but diffuse pressure along large muscle groups: quads, hamstrings, back, abs, delts, pecs, neck, IT bands, between shoulder blades (rhomboids)
  • use perpendicular across muscle groups for more intense pressure: biceps, triceps, glutes, hip flexors, QL, plantar fascia, obliques, back of neck (c-spine)
  • set upright (tall) for the most intense pressure or targeting niche muscle groups: piriformis, psoas, delt-pec triangle
  • use the rounded edge for targeted pressure or small areas: TFL, bridge of nose, cheekbones, collarbones, specific vertebrae in the neck
  • slowly roll on it like a foam roller along the length of legs or back

About the mini (un)Block

  • BETTER THAN ANY BALL OR FOAM ROLLER: offers the stability of a flat surface with rounded edges to match curves in the body. Used flat along the length of the muscle, it offers diffuse pressure. Used across the muscle, it offers similar pressure to a lower forearm. Used upright, the pressure is like a small fist. Use the rounded edges for targeted pressure or trigger point work. The (un)Block has just enough grip to be able to anchor tissues and drag or twist, creating a shear effect in different vectors. The foam grip reduces risk of slipping and un(Block) isn't rolling away anytime soon.
  • ULTRA VERSATILE: un(Block) can be used one at a time, just like a foam roller or massage ball. Even better, get multiples to use in tandem to target several tissue groups at the same time without compromising stability or safety. More recovery, less time. 
  • GOLDILOCKS DENSITY: not too hard and not too soft. It has just enough firmness to be used as a hurts-so-good massage tool and just enough give to do deeper, slower fascia release and passive recovery work without excessive pain or bracing. (Pro tip: it's more effective when it doesn't hurt and your body can relax into the pressure without fighting back.)
  • PACKS LIGHT: At a combined 3.7 oz (104g) this (un)Block travel set packs light while packing a punch. Perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle to take everywhere you travel. 
  • HYPOALLERGENIC: no rubber latex or chemical-based wood finishes here. High density polyethylene (HDPE) is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and ultra-lightweight.
  • AN UPGRADED RECOVERY EXPERIENCE: anywhere, anytime relief of pain, tension, aches, and post-workout soreness while improving mobility without stretching. Can speed recovery and improve lymphatic drainage. Supports the nervous system by avoiding the cringing and bracing from round but oddly intense conventional massage balls, lacrosse balls, or trigger point tools. No pain, more gain.
  • USED BY THERAPISTS, BODYWORKERS & TEACHERS IN THE US AND CANADA: (un)Blocks are in use by a growing number of physical therapists, athletic trainers, functional movement facilitators and various bodywork modalities.
  • MADE IN THE USA & CANADA: Made by small, family-owned businesses for our business. For wholesale enquiries, drop us a line: hello(at)theunblock.shop
