INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BODY THERAPY
For tension release and muscular massage in the back, shoulders and glutes, place the Hot/
Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball on a non-skid surface such as a carpet or fitness mat and
roll it underneath the affected area. For the upper back and shoulders, you may also roll the
Trigger Point Massage Ball between the wall and the affected area.
FOOT THERAPY
For treatment of Plantar Fasciitis (PF) and other foot ailments, begin in a seated position (not
standing). Place the Hot/Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball on a non-skid surface such as a
carpet or fitness mat and roll it back and forth underneath the foot, paying careful attention
to the most painful areas. Recommended treatment time is 4-6 minutes, but may vary
according to your pain level. PF patients may benefit most from morning therapy.
COOLING THERAPY
Place Hot/Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball in the freezer for 4-6 hours to freeze gel; product
will stay cold 15-20 minutes. Refreeze as necessary.
HEAT THERAPY
Place Hot/Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball in 120-degree (very hot) tap water for 7-10
minutes; test before applying to skin. Trigger Point Massage Ball stays heated approximately
10-15 minutes. Reheat as necessary.
DO NOT USE OTHER HEATING METHODS—conventional or microwave ovens or stove
tops, for example—as overheating may cause burns or damage the Hot/Cold Trigger Point
Massage Ball. We do not recommend placing the Hot/Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball in
boiling water, as this may damage the seals on the product and/or cause burns.
