Recommended Pads
Triggerpoint
Designed to be a great all-around pad. It works anywhere & it’s easy to use.
Glute
This pad was created to cover the gluteus maximus, medius and/or minimus depending on the size of the glutes. Glutes are a large contributor to back pain and are often overstretched and weak due to the amount of sitting we do.
