Roll Recovery, a maker of deep tissue massage therapy tools for recovery and athletic performance, launched its R1 Percussion Massage Device.

Designed for pre-workouts and recovery post-workout, the R1 boasts a compact size, quiet motor, 7-plus hour battery life, and compliments the brand’s recovery tools.

“As we explored the percussion device market, we discovered the majority of percussion devices were loud, oversized and overpriced plastic bodies with pretty poor battery life,” said Jeremy Nelson, founder and CEO. “The goal behind designing the R1 was to create a product that is sleek and compact, powerful, exceptionally quiet, and has a long battery life, with some pretty neat color options to add a little bling to our lives. We’re very happy with the outcome as it compliments our current line-up of rolling and compression recovery products.”

Tested and inspired by elite athletes, the R1 Percussion Massage Device uses the force of percussive therapy to improve performance and accelerate recovery. With four speeds ranging from 1800 RPM to 3200 RPM and interchangeable massage head attachments, the R1 is adjustable for pre-workout, increased range of motion and flexibility, improving muscular strength and enhancing neuromuscular performance, or post workout, for blood flow, loosening stiff muscles, reducing localized muscle pain and preventing DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). And with the right setting, the tool can provide a calming effect to the nervous system and improve sleep quality for further tissue repair. 

The technical specifications of the R1 back its attractive design:
