Like Acuball's the Acuball Mini has specially designed acupoints and uses heat to stimulate blood flow. This increases circulation, helping to 'flush out' built up toxins that accumulate in tight muscles causing pain. As these toxins release over time the muscle itself relaxes. Direct pressure from the acupoints also massages muscle and mobilizes joints, further enhancing pain free body movement.

The Acuball-mini has smaller nibs and a harder feel to make it perfect for releasing tight muscles in the smaller muscle groups of the body such as the feet, hands, shoulders, upper back, arms and forearms. It is particularly effective in the feet for relieving painful conditions like plantar fasciitis.  Athletes such as golfers, runners and tennis players use the Acuball-mini before their activity to loosen problem areas in their feet, shoulders or arms to enhance muscle performance and reduce risk of injury. It's also an excellent massage tool - try massaging your friend's shoulders and neck with it!
