Franklin Method Smooth Ball Set in Canada
The Franklin Method Smooth Ball Set is a pair of smooth self-massage balls designed for Franklin Method exercises, fascia release, body awareness work and gentle trigger point massage. The smooth surface allows comfortable pressure without the sharper feel of textured massage balls, making them a popular choice for home exercise, Pilates, yoga, mobility work and rehabilitation settings.
Choose Your Size
| Option | Colour | Best For | Massage Feel | Sold As |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3" / 7.6 cm Mini | Red | Feet, shoulders, neck, hips, hands and smaller trigger point areas | More focused and precise | Set of two |
| 4" / 10.2 cm Regular | Orange | Glutes, piriformis, hamstrings, back, hips and broader body areas | Broader and more comfortable over larger areas | Set of two |
Why Choose a Smooth Franklin Ball?
Textured massage balls can be helpful for some users, but they are not always the best choice for sensitive areas. The Franklin Method Smooth Ball Set provides a smooth contact surface that can be easier to control and more comfortable for people who want steady pressure without extra surface texture.
The balls can be used under the feet, hips, glutes, shoulders, back or other soft tissue areas where gentle pressure and movement feel appropriate. They are also commonly used as part of Franklin Method movement education, Pilates, yoga, mobility and self-care routines.

Which Size Is Right for Me?
Firmness and Inflation
The balls can be adjusted slightly softer or firmer depending on your comfort level and how you plan to use them. Use gentle inflation and avoid overinflating the balls.
Care and Use Tips

- Stop using the product if it causes sharp pain, numbness or worsening symptoms.

Special thanks to Rob, who did an exchange since I had ordered the wrong balls. Happy Holidays,
Excellent ball. I’m using it along with Franklin’s youtube videos. Very quick delivery.
Perfect size and when i told my physiotherapist i bought them she was enthusiastic about my chances of recovery at home as all my appointments with her were cancelled due to covid 19
