RAD 有不同的產品, 有些比較硬, 有些比較軟, 軟的可以應用在運動後的肌肉酸痛, 可能促進血液循環, 加快肌肉放鬆及復原。
先為大家介紹利用RAD工具做上半身伸展
頸部
RAD rod – 可以雙手握住RAD rod, 利用 rod 的硬度, ,去按壓頸部肌肉, 側邊和後邊肌肉都可以放鬆到。
RAD point release kit, 這個套裝可以對付一些比較細的肌肉組織, 針對痛點去按壓, 利用自身體重, 就可以達到放鬆肌肉的效果。
後肩膀
通常都市人都會有膊頭後面肌肉和背闊肌會比較繃緊的問題，我們可以一開始用RAD 的 ATOM 大球去做一些熱身，先放鬆一些比較大組的肌肉，如果你發現一些痛點比較酸軟，就可以運用 KIT 這個套裝去按壓，按壓維持10多秒，待到肌肉放鬆了，就可以再加一些旋轉動作，前後左右移動，加大力度，又或是壓着痛點，手慢慢的打圈，務求令這組肌肉可以全方位得到放鬆，從而回復肌肉的彈性，回復筋腱的靈活性，增加關節活動的角度。
胸部
我們可以運用RAD CENTRE 這個工具，先把它吹脹，比較軟身，很適合用於做完運動後，胸部特別酸痛的時候，因為這種物料比較軟，而胸部又湊巧做完擴胸，拉胸等等的運動之後，用這個工具就非常合適啦！
前臂
都市人大多都好常見的，tennis elbow, golf elbow, 我們用一個小球，去壓着痛點，可以慢慢轉動手腕，慢慢開合手指，緊握拳頭，可以邊打開手掌邊轉動手腕，這樣過緊的肌肉就可以加快被放鬆。
背部
我們會用這個 RAD HELIX，俗稱花生波，，因為這個產品是符合我們的人體工學，可以避開脊椎的地方，針對繃緊的豎脊肌，去進行按壓舒緩的；
除了用花生波，我們也可以用這個 KIT的套裝去按壓舒緩背部，可以利用瑜伽磚的不同高度，可以對付不同的肌肉，如果想放鬆深層的肌肉，可以將 Rounds 放上瑜伽磚的窄面，Rounds 即是兩個連住的硬按摩球，RAD Block 上有個凹位，可以固定 Rounds，這樣你就可以將自己的身體交托給 Block 啦，找到痛點後，將自己身體的重心向下壓，接着你可以抬起雙腿，雙腳轉圈，或者是作出一些轉腰的動作，左擺右擺，去多角度按壓那組你剛找出來繃緊的肌肉。
