Professional Muscle Scraper Tool – Medical-Grade 304 SS IASTM & Gua Sha Scraping Tool – Ergonomic Fascia Mobilization Instrument for Soft Tissue Massage & Manual Bodywork – Emollient Balm Included

I ordered a set of 5 stainless steel tools on here for roughly same price as this one and I would honestly say this single tool was much more "worth it" than the set. The material that it's made of is very high quality, it has a solid weight to it so you don't have to use as much pressure which is a huge hand saver, but the way this tool works the tissue as opposed to lesser quality tools is what really separates this product. It's much less harsh so it's easier to work with and you can feel the "grains" much better. The versatility of this tool is also worth noting! It's double beveled so you can work in both directions without having to flip the instrument, the curves, edges, and holes allow for a variety of different grips to hit different areas. It also comes with a nice anatomy book which also serves as an instruction manual. Overall 5/5

I am not a medical professional. I was introduced to the Myofascial Releaser Ellipse two years ago by my Doctor of Physical Therapy. I had a total knee replacement revision. My PT used this to work on my leg muscles while I was recovering my strength and range motion. My recovery was very successful. Recently I had a fall and injured my shoulder and both my hands. I was able to observe the treatment I was getting with the Ellipse Pro. I asked a lot of questions about exactly my PT was doing and that was very educational. I began researching by watching "how to videos" and decided to order. The Myofascial Ellipse Pro included an excellent anatomy guide, that specifically informs the reader where you can use the tool and areas to avoid. I have achieved substantal pain relief and gotten back my range of motion. I use this tool for maintain and to quicken my recovery from injury. I also think it helps prevent injuries. The quality is top notch. Watch the videos and decide for yourself.

We purchased this tool in order to offer additional techniques to the patients with soft tissue injuries. We have found it to be effective, and particularly like that you can apply various levels of pressure. It's a great multi-purpose tool for working on various areas of the body and the beveled edge is helpful for getting to deeper layers of soft tissue. The quality is excellent, made of solid medical grade stainless steel which makes it durable and easy to care for. It's not large or cumbersome, making it a convenient tool to both carry around and store. It comes with a zippered case for easy storage between uses. Given that there are multiple edges built into one tool, this releaser offers the benefit of not having to interchange between multiple tools. The price point for a multi-use tool is incredible - half of what other IASTM instruments cost. We are impressed with all aspects of the tool - quality, price, value, and performance. Highly recommended!

The quality, like all the products I've bought from this brand, is excellent. I've been using the Teardrop Handlebar for four years, every day with my patients. It finally broke down, and when I tried to buy it again, it was out of stock for months. I bought this one to replace it, but it's not the same. I hope they get the Teardrop Handlebar back in stock soon.

Where to begin... I am a coach who works over 200 athletes each year (runners, wrestlers, sprinters, lacrosse, soccer, etc). I have been a big fan of Myofacial massage for years, but had mainly used foam rollers and many massages. Last year, I got a $5 tool which did the job but... was a lot of work for seemingly small results. When I saw the Ellipse tool, I knew I had to acquire it... and it did not disappoint. The difference was noticeable immediately. The shape of the tool fits beautifully along every muscle group: from calves to quads, from backs to achilles tendons... this tool has an edge that works perfectly. I can equally service my 250 pound heavy weight wrestler and my 89 pound distance girl. The tool also fits nicely into your hand. The three circles allow for easy gripping, especially when the tool is slippery. It is easy to find a comfortable position. The effectiveness is also amazing. With the other tool, I had to go over a muscle 10-12 times before redness would appear. With the Ellipse, I am getting petechiae after 4-5 passes. I actually had to change when I serviced my athletes, because the tool was too effective to be used close to races. It is safe to say I am a massive new fan and I hope to have this tool throughout the rest of my coaching career.

I want to start with I highly recommend this tool. I purchased this tool for personal use on the recommendation of friend of mine who is a physical therapist. She taught me some techniques for use and I have watch several videos of professionals demonstrating the technique. So far the tool has worked fantastically. I have pretty tight calves and stretching and foam rolling alone have only gotten me so far. I run a fair bit so I am in constant need of TLC. Additionally, I have used the tool on my partners shoulders and have found that her mobility has begun to increase as we couple the treatment with stretching. The tool is very versatile having both a convex/concave age to sweep the muscle tissue and get more focused pressure, the smaller protrusions are great for working around the achilles and around the shoulder blade. I am still figuring out how to use the tool and find the holes to be both beneficial and a bit awkward depending on the edge I am trying to use. Additionally, the massage cream I use does make handling the tool a bit more difficult as it does get a bit greasy. I will say without the massage cream it is more uncomfortable to use. I am sure that the more I use the tool, the better I will be at using the tool and learn new techniques. The main reason I only gave four stars is that the website does not offer any technique videos for using their tool specifically. While i can watch videos about the Graston tools, this tool in particular has no set of techniques associated as put forth by the company. The website indicates they will be coming soon, but not sure how long that has been there nor the duration it will remain. Hope this helps.

Just got my Ellipse4 IASTM Myofascial Release Tool and I love, love, love it!. It feels great in my hand like a well made, high quality tool . It is ergonomically designed so that it is easy to use and manipulate. I also love how cost effective it is. It's an all-in-one tool! (no need to buy several different tools that would cost $$$$$$$ to get same effect, and its easy to clean as well). It makes life simpler and easier to be able to use just one tool with multi sides/edges to apply to any area on the body you might need it for. I can't stop saying how very impressed I am with how well made it is and easy to use. I've already used it on myself and my husband, and I can't wait to use this tool with my clients because I know how much they will benefit from it. Thank you, Thank you and Great job!

Me: Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Crossfit Coach and Competitive Crossfit Athlete, SMFA Certified How long have I had this product? approximately one week Why IAFM? I purchased this tool on the recommendation of my physical therapy colleagues who own one and I am ecstatic with my decision. After using this tool for five minutes on my lower leg I was able to relieve ankle and knee pain that I have been having for months. Of course, I am well trained and educated on how to work with this sort of device, but my wife, who is a physician is not. She does anesthesia for a living, however, after browsing the manual that comes along with the tool and checking out a few videos she was working out her restrictions within minutes. We are both astounded with the effectiveness of this product. In my past I would use my elbows, hands, knuckles, and finger tips to create change in soft tissue, and it left me in so much pain at the end of the day. Next, I switched to compression bands, lacrosse balls and barbells which are also effective, but take much more time and are not very precise. I I’m quite pleased to have found another modality to ad to my toolbox and help people heal with. I definitely recommend this product for clinicians and for athletes who want to be able to train hard and recover quickly so that you can train hard again tomorrow. Please feel free to reach out to me and ask me any questions regarding this product and I will be happy to get back to you as soon as possible. Happy training!
