Body Lever Massage Tool
Body Lever is a powerful tool that gives you control over recovery and relief. Whether you’re considering one or just unboxed yours, this guide helps you get started.

Getting Started
Follow These 6 Simple Steps
STEP 1
Select which muscle or connective tissue feels tight, sore, or restricted. Common areas include quads, hamstrings, shoulders, calves, glutes, low back, shoulders, and neck.
STEP 2
You are the fulcrum
You drive the motion. Place the wooden sticks (lever) around yourself so the rolling surface or pin-pointer is against the muscle/tissue you want to work on.
STEP 3
Self-guided pressure
Gradually roll or press the sticks (lever) to start adding pressure. Use gentle body weight or adjust your leverage to increase pressure. Avoid using it on other people without proper training.
STEP 4
Use slow, controlled movements
Explore the lever, it’s very intuitive—twisting the rope to tighten for arms and calves. Alternate using sweeps, pin-pointing, and static pressure (holding in one spot for 20-60 seconds).
STEP 5
Breathe and relax to target muscles
Exhale as you apply pressure; this often helps with relaxation. Focus the mind on the area being worked.
STEP 6
Adjust angle, position, and pressure as needed
A little goes a long way. To access different muscle fibers, change the angle or orientation of the tool. It may help to bend a nearby joint or adjust your posture so you can better reach areas of concern.
