A Guide to Ion™ & Molecule™ - Vibrating Massage Devices

The Compex Ion™ (roller) and Molecule™ (ball) are lightweight and portable vibrating massage products, made from highly durable materials with a textured finish.

Both devices are equipped with 4 vibration settings and designed to loosen the myo-fascia tissue, which has a relaxing effect on the muscle. That can be over the full length of the muscle or on specific myo-fascia pain spots (trigger points).

The vibration can improve blood flow (transportation by capillary system: “good stuff in, bad stuff out”) and has a pain relief effect due to the vibration and blood flow increase.
