Roll Recovery’s latest device brings percussion massage a new level of portability.

Developed with feedback from pro athletes, the R1 is a compact but powerful, exceptionally quiet handheld percussion massage device.

Percussion massage devices have been around for several years and their benefits are increasingly undeniable. If you’re new to these devices or have any doubts about their efficacy, you should check out this recent study in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine.

Many massagers are made primarily of plastic and are not very compact. In contrast, the R1 will fit in a small pack, purse or carry-on, while offering power comparable to a much larger device.

Most people don’t visit a registered massage therapist more than once every few weeks, so a device you can use anywhere, anytime offers huge benefits. The lithium-ion battery, easily and quickly charged via USB, offers more than seven hours per charge.

The R1 can be used before a workout, to boost your flexibility and range of motion, improving strength and enhancing neuromuscular performance; and after a workout, to optimize blood flow, loosen stiff muscles, reduce muscle pain and help prevent DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).

The R1’s percussive therapy can also help calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality, thus promoting tissue repair.

Conceived by superhuman snowboarder @travisrice, the @naturalselection Tour highlights earth’s premier riders, from big-mountain mavens to Olympians, all competing on the most stoketastic—and unpredictable—terrain known to humankind.
Built upon a shared desire to enjoy, respect, and advocate for Alberta’s incredible landscapes, it was a natural fit for @elementsoutfitters to work with a local conservation organization @saltslandtrust to highlight the province’s rugged beauty and outdoor apparel to match.
THE UNINVITED INVITATIONAL April 13-16 @woodwardtahoe 😱 $40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!! Presented by @jess.kimura and @thenorthface and supported by @yeti @capitasupercorp @slushthemagazine @unionbindingco @smithoptics @sunbum @coalheadwear @fattire 🫡 watch the finals in person Saturday April 15 and join the crew + @btbounds for a public ride day Sunday April 16 @borealmtn. Time to make some history!!! #linkinbio to learn more!
Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
