Marshall and his partner on the project, world renowned physical therapist Ger Hartman, say the device flushes out lactic acid by kneading tiny knots from your muscles through the deep tissue massage made possible by the rollers and users' motion over them.
Marshall and Hartman have put together a 20 minute Back Baller session to work the back, calves, glutes, groin, hamstrings, IT band, quads and shins.
