TriggerPoint™, the market leader in foam rolling, movement products and education, today announces the launch of the GRID VIBE premium vibrating foam roller. Designed for muscle relaxation and pain reduction, the GRID VIBE pairs TriggerPoint’s patented GRID foam roller design with vibration technology to deliver enhanced muscle mobility experiences.
The GRID VIBE’s vibration frequency is specifically calibrated at 33 hertz for optimal muscle relaxation, minimizing discomfort and allowing users to focus longer on foam rolling tender areas. Research shows that vibration decreases the body’s sensation of pain. When vibration is paired with TriggerPoint’s signature GRID pattern that mimics a massage therapist’s hands, fingers and fingertips, the GRID VIBE effectively targets more layers of tight muscle tissue. The GRID VIBE can be used by anyone for muscle recovery, injury prevention, improving athletic performance, pain management, or boosting overall body movement and mobility.
