Cryotherapy is a wellness lover’s favorite for soothing sore muscles, and this rollerball works as a handheld cryotherapy device. It delivers cold and heat relief and fits easily in your hand. If you want to use it cold, simply store it in the freezer for at least an hour. If you want to use it hot, place it in a bowl of hot water for 5-10 minutes.
Reviewers note that the ball stays cold for a long time, even after you’ve started working it around your body. You can use this anywhere, including on the face, so it’s a great tool to keep ready to go in the freezer whenever you need it.
