“We love The Original Worm! I am a spa owner and have been in the wellness industry for many years I do not usually brag or review many products as I have seen many come and go. After trying The Original Worm and realizing what an awesome roller it was, we ordered for our spa and they have sold consistently. This tool is recommended by our massage team to many of the athletes they see. I have never seen another product that our team was so behind! I personally love it for travel, the compact size allows me to pack it in a small bag or travel with it behind my back when I drive.” -Ricky Marshall-Woodhouse Day Spa

 "The Worm has the perfect blend of portability, large surface
area  and solid structure to win the battle on tight, sore muscles. It is a safe and  effective way for the do-it-yourself athlete to help prevent injury.  I recommend all my patients use the worm before and after activity."
-Dr. Kyler Brown, DC, CCSP

"Where's my "Worm"? Is the most common phrase at my home.
As a boxing coach, retired world rated boxer, and structural body worker, the "Worm " is my favorite find of the year!
I’m always telling my massage clients to not be so type A with their foam roller. I try to explain that the fascia system has a fine line of tolerance to deep pressure on a trigger point. I'm sick of seeing everyone bruising themselves because they’ve been rolling so hard on the foam roller. Sometimes if you force the muscles or fascia it actually does the opposite as it causes the system to be in defender mode and can make you even tighter. (Paul McCartney sings) "it’s  a fine line between recklessness and courage".  For me the "Worm" is the perfect balance! The Worm can go just as deep as a roller but it also has enough give to allow the fascia and muscles to register that therapy is happening, and therefore relax.  It makes it easier to breathe through the trigger points and actually feel the fascia and muscles releasing, without torturing yourself. Also the multi-ball shape allows the muscles to get squeezed from different angles that no roller can. Win/Win for me! 
It also can be used for tapping, which is a great way to circulate the muscles before a run or just your day. PS my dog loves it too!
Each day I find a new way I can use the Worm, I can even get at the shoulder girdle muscles in a way that is helping not only myself, but a lot of my pro athletes and computer shouldered people. 
If you have plantar fasciitis, this product is a must!  If you want to avoid plantar fasciitis the Worm is a must!  Back pain, hip, ribs, neck, arm pain etc., the Worm is a one shop stop. If you want to be proactive in your recuperation in any sport the Worm is a must, it's so surprisingly effective, that I wish I had thought of it!!
Also the Worm is portable! Need I say more?  The only problem is: (my clients and I seem to  be having the same problem), we like the Worm so much we keep giving it away, or family members "take" them.  So guess what I'm giving everyone this year for the holiday?!  -Sonya Emery, LMT

"I was gifted a prototype of The Original Worm in a sneak preview of the product.  I love it.  It's almost as good as a professional massage for rolling out neck, upper back and low back pain.  I'm a big fan of taking matters into your own hands whenever possible.  The Worm allows you to work out kinks before they become a bigger problem.   Great new therapeutic aid, ingenious invention!"
-Colette Zygmont, D.C, 
Chiropractor, Yoga Teacher & Massage Therapist
"I've spent some time working with the WORM and I like it. I think it's more comfortable for the things I do with tools like this. I like that it's wide and covers more of the spine for example. Might be why it feels better to me than two tennis balls or something similar. And the compressibility of the spheres seems to be just right - not too firm but  firm enough to give good pressure."
-Doug Kelsey, PT, PhD
"I found the worm to be useful in treating patients with kneading techniques to relieve tight muscles and tight iliotibial bands...I
think the wall squat using The Worm is one of its best uses as it combines support, movement, and massage all in one.  This technique is one that can be independently done by the patient which is very useful because it allows them to continue therapy at home...I also, personally, found the Worm to be helpful with trigger point pains using the tapping technique described in brochure."
-Matthew Soileau, PT, MPT
"My clients LOVE The Worm! It is more comfortable and effective than a foam roller and more portable, too. After using it just once, 95% of my clients ask where they can buy the worm. It is awesome!"
-Christine Springer, PT, MPT
"I can't tell you how crazy I am over The Worm!  As a massage therapist, I am always looking for ways to help my clients off the table, and The Worm has been a wonderful tool for them.  And it helps my job too, by working out old adhesions and tightness from soft tissue.  I also have sent it to family as gifts, and they have loved their Worms!  Why didn't anyone think of this before??"
-Sandy Parham, LMT
 “I  am 5 months pregnant and The Original Worm is a life saver on my back! I like to put it on the floor and roll out my back at night. It feels wonderful. If you're pregnant and experiencing back pain this is a MUST HAVE for you! The Worm is small and light and easy to pack up for weekend trips or my weeknight trips to yoga class.. My husband has also been using The Original Worm and he's addicted. He keeps one at home and one at his office to relieve aches & pains throughout the day. We love it!” -Tori T., Austin TX
"While at a family reunion with my entire, very large family, Karen brought a prototype of The Original Worm for us to try.  There was a fight for who would get to keep it, but happily I, Karen's 81 yr. old mother won! (those kids still know what's good for them!!)
I used it the entire 5 hour ride home in the car and honestly it made a world of difference. 
I recently had a knee replacement and I have been able to use The Worm for many exercises, my favorites are the wall squats. I also love using it as a foot roller and lumbar support while in a chair.
I am so proud !
-Hella Atkins, mom
"What I really like to use it for is working on knots around my shoulder blades & for foot massage.  Areas that are hard to get in my yoga practice.  I've also enjoyed using The Worm as a head rest when reading. It is great for holding my head in place while also giving me some acupressure on the occiput.  Love it!"
-Gloria Uridel
Registered Yoga Teacher and Personal Trainer
  
 "I love this product! I found  The Worm to be a must have tool for runners & athletes.  Especially in the car for those that have to drive after long, hard workout."

"So simple, yet so powerful. I love my Worm!!!! I never would have believed it would have so many uses. It becomes the posture police when I place it under my sit bones while I'm at my computer. It acts as neck support while I'm reading in bed. It's *way* more forgiving and comfortable then a foam roller because I don't have to twist and lift half my body while using it. It's soft enough to be yielding, but hard enough to give a good massage. I'm so in love with my Worm, I don't leave home without it."
-Heidi Armstrong
Injury Recovery Coach, Injured Athletes Toolbox

"My therapists are loving the worm.  They are using it in the clinic with a myriad of diagnoses and seem to be getting results.  Personally, I’m addicted to it.  At 48 I’m still training pretty intensely and tools like the Worm are allowing me to recuperate a little faster.  These old muscles and tendons aren’t as resilient as they were when I was in my 20’s.  One thing I’ve found is that it’s a great thing to have in the car when traveling long distances.  I roll it down my back every so many minutes while driving and it helps prevent fatigue.  I also use it percussively on my legs, arms and traps while driving for the same effect and it works great.  You have a great product!"                                                                                           -Mac Barrient, PT
"I am a boxing coach and martial artist. When I'm not training clients, I work out myself or chase my two young boys. I don't have the time to get regular massages but instead I use "The Original Worm" to roll out any aches and pains in my back, glutes and legs. It works wonders and is so convenient to use at home, in the car, or at work. A stiff neck that used to take meseveral days to get over is now gone within a day. My clients love it too,and we use it regularly after and before workouts. It's a must-have for any athlete or fitness professional."
-Julia Gschwind

“I love The Worm, but since I already had a
grid and therapy balls I use those while I'm at the gym. With that said, The Worm is a combo of the two and it only costs as much as one of them, so it's like a two for one. The main thing that I love about The
Worm is the travel aspect. I will be traveling with The Worm now instead of my other pieces. In a nutshell, if I had to do it over,  I would choose The Worm!
- RJ Rice,  The Parks Health and Fitness,

"So often when I've woken up with a crook in my neck, shoulder, low back or hips, and couldn't get to a body worker right away, I always wished there were a way to work on myself! Now there is a way, with The Original Worm. Unlike other self massage tools, the worm is super easy to use and extremely effective. It's simple design enables one to get it in just the right spot. The Worm can access specific acu-points and trigger points for immediate relief. It's size and weight make it very easy to carry in a bag and take it on trips. It's great for long car, train or airplane rides too!
I have found The Worm so effective and user-friendly, I recommend it to all my clients. I find it's beneficial in helping my clients maintain the effects of their treatments in between sessions, and it's completely safe."
-Lisa Rice

"After a strength training  session with my clients, to begin the recovery and stretch process, we utilize the worm to massage and elongate sore
muscles. The benefits of using The Worm on the rhomboids after a heavy back work out
rolling it side to side slowly both horizontally and vertically while applying pressure to a wall brings relief and comfort to major muscle groups for my clients. The more pressure that is applied to the fatigued area, the more relief.  After using just one time on my clients, they have become regular worm users! 
I personally use it sitting on a mat on my tight hamstrings rolling it deep into the muscle to alleviate cramping.  It is also great to keep in my car to place against the seat for lower back issues.  This worm
is amazing.  Your body will thank you for it!"

"My band and I just finished a world tour and The Worm was been a great addition to our tour gear.  Especially after endless flights, hours on a tour bus and running around the stage nightly.  After a high energy performance, instead of diving into a bottle of Jack Daniels, I would relax back in the bus with the Worm.  It really was like having a massage therapist with me on the road.  I sometimes had to fight the bus driver & other band members for it!"
-Lynval Golding

"I bought the Original Worm when my physical therapist recommended it as part of my treatment for persistent plantar fasciitis. I had been using a baseball as a roller massager to help loosen up the muscle tissue in my arch but found it difficult to control. The baseball would slip out from under my size 12 foot and basically made exercising that much more of a chore. However, multiple ball construction of the Original Worm eliminated that problem for me. I have the larger Worm and found it very easy to keep under foot while doing my exercises. It has the four hard rubber balls in the stretchy, neoprene looking sleeve, which I think makes the difference. The instruction sheet shows other uses for the Worm as a body massager, thigh roller and for lumbar support and I have tried some of those uses and find the Worm to be good for that as well. It is pretty easy to clean, I just wipe mine down lightly with warm soapy water and let it air dry. Overall, for around $27 bucks, the Original Worm helped resolve my plantar fasciitis and made it less of a chore than other exercise methods"

"I am a dog walker.  I spend pretty much all day walking dogs. No matter how well behaved, there is always some being tugged and tugging going on which takes its toll on my shoulders and neck.  When I'm not walking, I'm in my car driving from client to client.  When I got The Original Worm it was like a miracle!  I gives my shoulders and feet a well deserved break and is great in the car driving between clients.  Thank you Original Worm!!"
-David Lee

"I love The Original Worm.  I keep mine right next to my workout area – so I can use it during my workout for wall squats and after my workout  to soothe my sore muscles.  It really works on tight calf and hamstring muscles and for my lower back!  It’s also compact enough for me to take with me when I travel…it fits in my carry-on bag easily!  You just have to try The Original Worm for yourself… but get your own, because you can’t have mine!"
