Optimize Your Muscle Health

"I’m a massage therapist (21 years) and this tool has helped me to correct quite a few of my chronic issues from years of physically demanding work. It’s easy enough to use, and the results are quite fast. I noticed a difference immediately in some areas and after several weeks of repeated treatment, my shoulder and hip issues are all but gone. I recommend this tool to my clients, family, and friends." - Joshua Smith |

"I love that it is a solid piece, and the grip on the handle is very well made. The rounded ends are great for targeting really tight areas, and all of the massager ends are perfectly smooth and rounded so there is no scratching or tugging on the skin (I use with either a body wash oil or body lotion). Very happy with my purchase." - HILL |

How to Use the KOAPRO Original Fascia Massage Tool
Preparation
For optimal results, use the KOAPRO tool on bare skin with massage oil to reduce friction and enhance gliding. Alternatively, it can be used over tight clothing. Suitable for most body parts, including feet, back, legs, shoulders, scalp, hands, hips, calves, and shoulders.
Technique
Begin with light strokes in up-and-down, side-to-side, and diagonal directions to warm up the tissue. Adjust the pressure as needed, increasing gradually for a deeper massage. Each muscle group should receive 20 progressively deeper passes, approximately 30 seconds per area.
Specific Tips
- Use the “fingers” and “thumbs” of the tool to target tension and the flat edges to smooth over bumpy areas.
- For deep trigger points, apply pressure for 30 to 90 seconds.
- For hard-to-reach areas, lie on the tool, press it against a wall, or use a hard-back chair and lean against it.
- After loosening up areas, lightly rub them with your hands to promote faster relief.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after using the KOAPRO tool to stay well hydrated.
Consultation
For best results and to address specific needs, consult with a trained professional.
Side Effects and Precautions
Some common side effects include bruising, temporary muscle soreness, and swelling, which should resolve within a few days. Apply gentle pressure to minimize these effects. Avoid use on or over a pregnant belly, scars, open skin lesions, or certain medical conditions without professional advice. This product is not suitable for children, pregnant women, or the elderly and is not a toy. Always consult with your healthcare professional if in doubt.
