How Powerful is the TriggerPoint MB Vibe?

First off, the TriggerPoint MB Vibe is the first of its kind within TriggerPoint’s line of products. The implementation of powerful vibration technology to a massage ball creates an experience that will truly aid in recovery and easing muscle soreness.

 

 

Secondly, the MB Vibe features three different speed settings that I found to work well for different parts of the body. The first speed setting was great for the more sensitive areas of my body such as my hamstrings and calves. Due to the use of this vibrating massage ball, I found myself recovering much quicker after my leg training sessions. In addition, the second and third speed settings were truly remarkable for helping release the trigger points in my upper back. As an individual that has struggled with upper back tightness, this is one of the few products that I have found that has been powerful enough to breakdown the stubborn knots in my back.

 

Lastly, TriggerPoint has been able to pack a great deal of power in such a small product. The power of the product and small form factor truly allow you to target specific areas of your body.

Firmness

Firstly, though the TriggerPoint MB Vibe uses as silicon coating, I noticed that the product is very firm and did not give even when I put all my bodyweight onto it. In addition, I have used a plethora of vibrating massagers and noticed the foam tends to sink in when pressure is applied, the MB Vibe was so firm that this did not occur.

 

Secondly, I truly felt that the firmness of the product allowed you to use it even without the vibration feature. I would say it is similar to a lacrosse ball, but the vibration features takes the product to another level, and truly leaves you feeling repaired after use.

 

Battery Life and Charging Time

First off, TriggerPoint has included a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that you should expect to use for 2 hours before a charge is needed. Secondly, with moderate use, I found myself only needing to charge the battery about once a week.
