large (un)Block - better than any therapy ball

large therapy (un)block for myofascial release, increased mobility and pain relief

The 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. It's 3.5" x 4.5" x 7.5" size provides maximum versatility and adjustable intensity compared to it's little brother.

• use flat for more diffuse pressure or for large muscle groups: quads, hamstrings, back, abs, delts, pecs, neck, IT bands
• flip it up or set upright (tall) for more intense pressure or narrower muscle groups: biceps, triceps, glutes, hip flexors, QL, piriformis, side of neck, psoas, plantar fascia
  
• use the rounded edge for targeted pressure or small areas: TFL, bridge of nose, cheekbones, collarbones, specific vertebrae in the neck

About the large 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, it offers broad pressure. Used upright, it offers similar pressure to a forearm or palm of hand. 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 only 3.75oz (105g), the (un)Block 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. The US versions are slightly softer with smoother edges, the Canadian versions are slighter firmer with minor ridging on the sides. People love both and there is no difference in effectiveness so we'll ship either one depending on where you live. We keep track of which is which for cross-border shipping (y'know, tariffs...)
