Recommended Pads
Triggerpoint
Designed to be a great all-around pad. It works anywhere & it’s easy to use.
Upper Back
This is the largest pad we make, and requires two Halo units to function properly. The top attaches between the neck and shoulders, and follows the trapezius muscle down to the middle of the back.
