Ideal for movement exercise, Pilates, yoga, and myofascial massage, the Slings Myofascial Training Tools can be purchased as a kit or separately. Developed by Karin Gurtner, these tools are perfect for home, studio, therapeutic use, personal training, group classes and for Slings Myofascial Training (see below to learn more).

Slings Training Tool Kit (LE2005)
The full kit includes Slings Massage Domes (2), Slings Massage Balls (2), Slings Trigger Balls (2), Slings Kneeling Pad (1), and Slings Carrying Bag (1). Each product (or pair of products) is also sold separately:
 
Slings Massage Domes (LE2002): Sold as a set of two, the domes feature rounded knobs for gentle self-massage on arms, legs, shoulders back and the head to help increase blood flow and improve circulation and proprioception. They can also be used as a support prop with the flat side down to help increase stability, strength, balance and alignment. 4 ¾” DIA.  
 
Slings Massage Balls (LE2001): Sold as a set of two, the massage balls can be used for gentle massage to stimulate fascia and muscles, release myofascial tension, increase blood flow and improve circulation. Adjust inflation level with the integrated valve. 3.5” (9cm) DIA.
 
Slings Trigger Balls (LE2003): Sold as a set of two, the smooth surface and non-slip texture of these balls makes them ideal for massaging the feet, hands, shoulders and the sacroiliac joint. The small size allows you to pinpoint specific areas for deep, precise trigger point relief. 1 ½” DIA.
 
Slings Kneeling Pad (LE2004):  
This soft kneeling pad can be used for additional support on a yoga or exercise mat and can be placed under the knees to reduce discomfort while kneeling or lunging. It can also be rolled up and used under the head, neck, pelvis or abdomen during exercise. 20”L x 9 ½”W x ½”H.  

Slings Myofascial Training

Developed by Karin Gurtner, Slings Myofascial Training is a certification program for movement professionals, body workers, and therapists who want to broaden their skills in anatomy and structural integration through movement. This holistic movement concept provides new tools professionals can use in classes or in practice. The program aims for structural balance, resilience and self-awareness through movement. The full Slings Training Tool Kit includes everything necessary for Slings Myofascial Training.

Anatomy Trains in Motion

Officially recognized by Tom Myers, Anatomy Trains in Motion is based on his Anatomy Trains concept of interconnected anatomy. The course is a module in itself and serves as the foundation of Slings Myofascial Training. The course focuses on the dynamic interplay of muscles and fascia in movement and on strengthening the good in the body to address imbalance, injuries and pathologies from a place of strength.

Life Changing!

It may seem a little dramatic to say that a training prop is life changing. But these tools have helped me find more freedom and resilience in my body which is life changing. I use these everyday for my own body and teach Slings Myofascial Training with them for both individuals and in group classes. My clients absolutely adore the feedback and release these tools offer and many have a set at home for self care.

delightful and multi-purpose!

These nubbly massage balls are a wonderful tool for activating/releasing muscles of the feet, deep front line, pelvic and spinal placement, connection to the earth, and just generally are a delightful "feel good" aid. Thank you!

Love these all over my body

I use these massage balls for many different things, sometimes in a Myofascial slings class and sometimes just in my own practice. I’m always coming up with new ways to use them. I want another set so that I can do the classes with a friend!

Lifesaving tools

I use both the massage balls and the half domes on a regular basis for training and self care. They have helped me reduce chronic pain areas and loosen up tight muscles allowing me to continue working and playing as my body ages. They seem to last forever, I have had mine for many years in a very dry climate and they are still supple and flexible with no leaks.

my go-to saviors

When i first bought the massage balls from my Gyrotonics and Slings trainer, i had no idea how many imbalances, tightnesses and rigidities these little balls were going to help release. I travel with them (and a pump), so that they can restore me after long plane rides or long hours standing as a presenter. (What they do to my feet is magical.) I'm now giving them to all the friends i care for! THANK YOU

My clients LOVE these tools!!

I teach the Slings Myofascial Training both in individual lessons and in group classes. In addition to enjoying how we use the various tools specifically within the Slings approach, students love using these tools for self care in creative ways and even buy the massage balls for their friends and family as stocking stuffers at holiday time. What a great way to invite people to enjoy taking care of themselves! The tools are super versatile, packable, and durable; the materials are high quality. I know we've got a useful set of tools when students tell me they're packing them in their suitcase when they travel! I personally love using the trigger balls for hand and foot work, and the kneeling mat makes all kneeling exercises much more enjoyable. As a Structural Integrator, I suggest many self care exercises for my clients using the textured massage balls, and they never hesitate to purchase a set or the whole Slings Myofascial Training Tool kit so they can do their homework!

Great Tools!!

The balls have a perfect texture, neither overly hard nor overly soft and the tips are not annoying, the small balls have the correct size for many footwork excercises and the doms are fantastic! Those sizes are unfindable but they are the perfect size for working with the feet, under the pelvis and also upside down. The knee cushion does not sink in like many others and has the correct thickness. Highly recommended!!!

Great for support or massage

I love the Slings massage domes as an aid for support and also for various massages exercises. The spikes are firm, but not hard. I use the domes in many exercises either with the flat side up or resting/moving on the spiky side.

Variable applicable

I use the Kneeling Pads for almost all kneeling exercises. The knees rest relaxed and I can concentrate wonderfully on the effective exercise. I use the rolled-up Kneeling Pad (sometimes also with a ball in between) as a headrest. It also works great.

Optimal for deep and soothing massages

I appreciate the softness yet firmness and texture of the balls. The balls are pleasant on the skin and the spikes give a good feeling during massage.

Great for massage and yoga poses

Great addition to yoga sessions at home. The mat on top of yoga mat under knees, hips and head make poses more comfortable. The domes have a nice bumpy surface for a mini massage under the neck, shoulders, and hips during bridge and lying poses. And under feet for mountain pose. I like the massage balls but haven’t used the smaller ones yet.

Perfect size, perfect combination of tools

These tools are specifically designed for Slings Myofascial Training, and like the movement approach, these tools can be adapted to any movement modality. The combination of the domes, massage balls, trigger balls, and kneeling pad provides an almost limitless opportunity to create multidimensional massage/self-myofascial release, dynamic stabilization challenge, and adaptive positioning of joints/body elements to instill proprioceptive clarity and movement confidence. Worth every penny!
