Whole Family BenefitsâPain, Sleep, Stress & More
As a yoga teacher with a spine injury, Iâve tried many toolsâDr. Cohanâs Acu Kit is by far one of the best. Itâs easy to use, holds heat for a surprisingly long time, the warmth and unique designs are what make this kit especially effective. My daughter used it for period cramps, my son for better sleep, and I use it post-workout, during meditation, and for stress relief. Iâm even planning to bring it to my next massage! Highly recommend for pain, recovery, stress, and self-care.

**An Essential Tool for Muscle Relief and Recovery!**
I recently tried **Dr. Cohenâs Acuball Deep Tissue Massage Roller**, and I am beyond impressed! This is hands down one of the best tools Iâve used for muscle recovery and relieving tension. Whether you’re into intense workouts, suffer from chronic back pain, or simply want a more effective way to relax your muscles, this roller is a must-have.The design is incredibly thoughtful â it combines the benefits of deep tissue massage with the added bonus of heat therapy, making it an all-in-one solution for muscle relief. The heat feature really enhances the massage, helping to loosen tight muscles and improve blood circulation. Iâve used it both cold and heated, and both options feel amazing.Compared to traditional foam rollers, the **Acuball** has a more targeted, intense massage that goes deeper into the muscles. It’s perfect for focusing on specific areas like your lower back, shoulders, or legs. Itâs easy to use: just place it under the affected area, and it works like a charm.The size is also ideal â it’s portable and easy to store, yet effective enough for anyone from beginner exercisers to seasoned athletes. I especially appreciate how it helps with muscle recovery after tough workouts, preventing soreness and promoting quicker recovery. The quality is excellent, and itâs built to last.If youâre looking for a way to take your muscle recovery to the next level, I highly recommend **Dr. Cohenâs Acuball**. It’s an effective, high-quality tool that beats any foam roller Iâve tried, and the added heat therapy makes it amazing!!!!

Massage Ball
Very good product to help with hand pain.
Phillip Galloway –
Great for feet too!
I know this is marketed for back/neck, but the knobby parts nearest the middle make this too painful for me to use for back and neck. This item is however GREAT for feet, esp. if you really like REAL pressure on your feet. You can put in on the floor and massage your feet on it and it is better than anything for feet I have ever used – lots of different edge and surfaces for every part of your foot. It can withstand water, so I even use it when soaking my feet in hot water and epsom salt.

Good buy
Small compact but effective. I use it for knots in the back that are hard to reach.

FANTASTIC & EASY SELF TREATMENT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I have 2 of the acuBalls for myself, and given a few to family. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SMALL WONDER BALL!! The cost is well worth the investment! I have spent much money on devices of ALL kinds for my back pain and posture. I also have severe scoliosis. I use it both warmed and cold, but feels best warm. It can go with me anywhere. With pain relief, it has been the ONLY device that really helped my back. Other devices like acupressure mats, massagers, inversion machine, stretchers, rollers did nothing. This ball made sense, and it certainly feels GREAT AND HELPS!! It is so simple, using the weight of my body to heal. I can feel the deep pressure of the points. I relax into the painful area, focus, and breath. There is a good hurt, knowing it is doing something. I can diagnosis the area to massage, with the amount of pain. Afterwards, my back pain is gone, or greatly reduced. I use it almost daily for about 30 or more minutes. It helps loosen my back/hips for my Posture Fitness walk. It is unbelievable the difference with pain, mobility, walking, and posture!! The latter is a HUGE problem. I look in the mirror after using the ball, and notice my improved posture, before could not stand up straight-tight muscles!! I know I need to continue using it, helping deeper with the problem and cause. I just CANNOT say enough good things about this amazing ball. I forgot to state, I have 2 balls. I often use both at the same time, though will often use more one than the other. But I LOVE having 2 available. I will have both under my back, and use one or both as my body responds. My body and pain easily tell me how to use them. I also love to use it on my neck. I want to experiment with other areas!! The DVD and book, Feel it ?Heal IT! are excellent! I have found both VERY USEFUL!!UPDATE-about one month later, 10-18-19************I have included a photo this time to show how you can use the AcuBall DIRECTLY on your spine. The spine lays on the open area between the spikes. I started doing this more recently. WOW! It REALLY opens up the back area, and makes deep breathing easier, decreases pain, and FEELS GREAT!! The breathing enhances the relaxation and benefits! I initially used the AcuBall only on the muscles either side of the spine. I LOVE BOTH directly on the spine, and on the muscle area! I breath through the pain, knowing it is SO helpful and healing!! It is EXTREMELY RELAXING using the Acuball directly on the spine, or either side on the muscles. IT IS LIKE GOING TO A MASSAGE Session, only much cheaper!!!. I can tell where to do the treatment. myself, by feeling he pain. This is SO USER FRIENDLY. The ClICK IT CHART, is FANTASTC to guide, easy to use!! acuball.comGREAT WEBSITE!! The cost is the cheapest around, and the quality and treatment are the VERY BEST!! I have tried SO MANY products, none works like this WONDER BALL!!! Your body will thank YOU!!!!

Dr. Cohen’s Acuball
Do not order this product. Followed instructions to the “T” and the first time I microwaved the ball it melted in two areas. So I turned the power down on the microwave. About the 10th use, the ball started leaking. With all the latest technology, you mean to tell me they can’t make something more durable????? Very disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I didn’t order form the Dr. Cohen site because the ball was more expensive. Not happy at all. Once again, do not order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to give this product 0 stars but had to give it 1, once again, not happy.

Achtung meine Bewertung bezieht sich weniger auf das Produkt als auf die zugesendete Variante.Bis zur Lieferung vergingen 5 Tage. Das sollte heute schneller gehen. Egal was aber wirklich ungünstig war … das gelieferte Produkt wurde nur in Französisch beschrieben. Produktverpackung und Anleitung komplett in Französisch. Keine deutsche oder wenigstens englische Beschreibung lag bei. Dank der für den nicht Französisch sprechenden Benutzer lesbaren Warnhinweise ist mir der Ball gleich beim erwärmen kaputt gegangen.Zum Ball selbst. Dieser ist fantastisch. Hab ihn mal bei einer Bekannten ausprobiert und war begeistert.

Dr. Cohenâs Heatable acuBall es un producto que sirve para aliviar los sÃntomas, no cura sino que transmite una sensación de alivio y un calor suave, que hace que la persona se siente mejor mientras se está usando
