Benefits

STRETCHES YOUR BACk

The curved shape supports your body as you gently stretch through your upper and mid back.

Massage

Slow rolling creates comfortable pressure through your muscles using your own body weight.

IMPROVES MOBILITY

Gentle, controlled movement can help you move and stretch areas that feel stiff or tight.

SFITS BETWEEN YOUR SHOULDER BLADES

Unlike a traditional wide foam roller, the Lotus Wheel is designed to fit between your shoulder blades and a groove for your spine.

ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE

Choose a larger wheel for a gentler experience or a smaller wheel for more focused pressure./span>

RELAX & UNWIND

Slow stretching and rolling can provide a relaxing reset after exercise, work or long periods of sitting.

Contraindications

  • Osteoporosis.

  • Numbness, weakness or altered sensation
  • Problems with balance or safely getting on and off the floor
  • Do not use the Lotus Wheel directly over open wounds, significant bruising, inflammation, infection or an acute injury.
