If your muscles and feet could use some extra attention, this textured massage ball may do the trick. It’s $21.25 when you clip the on-page coupon, down from $25, and designed for working out tight, sore areas at home. One Amazon reviewer even says it helped “loosen up the tendons and ligaments in my foot.” With its textured surface, you can use it to target everything from your feet and calves to your back, hands and legs, and it’s helped so many reviewers with increasing flexibility, hammertoe, general pains and even post-bunion surgery recovery.

The textured ball has spiky massagers for releasing tension on your feet, or your ankles, legs, hands and back.
If you need to stimulate circulation and release tension all over your body, you can just roll this ball underneath sore muscles and apply pressure to its spiky exterior. The silicone spikes will gently break up any tension and soreness, and due to its size, you can use it practically anywhere, from underneath your office desk to any wall in your home.
“I had bunion surgery about 6 months ago,” says one user. “The bunion is gone, but my foot still hasn’t fully recovered/adjusted. My trainer recommended I try this ball to loosen up the tendons and ligaments in my foot. I purchased it, and from almost the first time I used it, my foot is much more flexible and, for the most part, the pain is gone. I’m going to continue using it to make sure nothing tightens up again. I’m 70 years old, and I feel like the more I work to maintain my body, the better off I will be.”
It also splits into two for more custom muscle targeting. It also has a tougher interior ball for other muscles.
Unlike other textured massager balls, this one can split into two pieces, letting you apply pressure on both hands or both feet at once. With both pieces hollow, it also makes for a much gentler stretch in places like your lower back or shoulders.
Another user explains: “I don’t pretend to know how it works, but I stood on this for about 15 seconds at a time and just kept moving my feet around on the two halves, and somehow it eased the ache I have had in my upper back/neck area and the subsequent headache that I have had for weeks now. The pain is not completely gone yet, but it is so much better and manageable now!”
Inside the silicone shell is a dense “Micro Ball” that helps better target the smaller muscles, like in the arches of your feet or the palms of your hands. Some users say they love using it to roll along their face and jaw, or for “pain relief in my hand from weight lifting.”
The little ball that’s helping people relieve their hammertoes, foot pains, bunions and more is just $22 right now. Grab a ball or two for yourself today, and look below to see what users are saying about this pain-relieving tool.
“This is a useful little tool and very effective too. I was diagnosed with pes planus after several years of dealing with foot pain. I recently saw a physical therapist for some relief. He gave me several different exercises to do, massaged my feet, and suggested I buy marbles to pick up with my toes to strengthen my arch. I made a lot of progress during my 2 months of PT and got some measurable pain relief. I was able to be on my feet all day with significantly less pain at the end of the day. Did I mention that I am an ER nurse and work grueling 12 hour shifts? I found this little ball while researching ways to strengthen and massage my feet. This is genius! I roll my feet over it, and split it in half to stand on different areas of my aching feet. The little ball stored in the center is useful as a tool for pressure point massage and it doubles as a marble sized ball to pick up with my toes thus strenthening my arches. I can’t say enough good things about this little Neuro Ball! It appears well made and I expect it to last for years to come. I highly recommend it. My only negative comment is I thought it was overpriced at $25.00 but $30.00 is laughable. I hoped it would go on sale for black friday or after Christmas but the manufacturer raised the price instead. I was going to buy another to keep in my bag and use on breaks at work but the price deterred me.” — RL

This ball isn’t the cheapest one out there, but it’s really well built and will last a long time. It’s easy to use and you have the option of using the complete ball or half of the ball.” — Home Staging & Design Store
“This little ball is unbelievable! I have a severe bunion and just recently a hammertoe next to that big toe. It seemed in my mind it would feel good to press the ball of my foot against a half ball on the floor, spreading out my toes, so I ordered this. It’s very dense and heavier than you imagine, so it stays put and doesn’t roll away easily. The tiny black ball in the middle I thought would be useless, but between my toes is very helpful in building strength. Rolling the entire ball under my foot back and forth while at my desk is very helpful in releasing tight muscles. I questioned the price of this little ball at first, but it is worth the money and I totally recommend it for any foot troubles. Excellent product. Very well made.” — SHDF63
