*The maximum score is 100 points
We really enjoyed using the fascia rod during the test. It is very easy to use, does not require a great deal of effort and can be used without prior knowledge thanks to the detailed instructions . The respective problem areas in the neck, lower back, thighs and calves can be massaged in a targeted manner. After the treatment, the body feels refreshed , tensions and adhesions are released, regeneration is accelerated and the feeling of stress is reduced. The fascia rod yields slightly so that the intensity of the massage can be customised . The wood glides comfortably and silently over the skin and feels good in the hand. It is also pleasantly warm and offers a natural alternative to the often cold and hard plastic rollers. Customers can currently choose from the colours “light” and “dark” .
All in all, the fascia rod is a great product that allows customers to do something good for their health at the same time.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

Prices of up to €136 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €22. With a current price of €59.95, the brand’s product is therefore in the lower to middle price segment. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
