An Inside Glimpse Into the Development of SoloRolo's Myofascial Release Ball
Product Design Requirements
Physiotherapist, John Pathrose, came to Design 1st with a product idea for a self-massage tool to help with trigger point massage to alleviate pain. John required full product development support, including design, engineering, prototyping, packaging, and manufacturing setup.
- Develop serveral concepts to find the best design
- Goal was to replace the tennis ball massage technique with a more effective and easier-to-use device
- Build a fully functional prototype for user testing
Engineering Challenges
After choosing a design direction, the Design 1st team began detailed engineering to define the materials, size, components, and manufacturing method. This process unrevealed several tough design challenges.
- Research into human factors of myofascial release to understand the correct one-size-fits-all geometry
- Revise device design to lower manufacturing costs
- Several rounds of bench-model prototyping
Product Results
Through creativity and technical understanding, the Design 1st team developed an award-winning product that:
- Launched successfully to market with strong reviews from both consumers and physiotherapists
- Achieved rapid turnaround from concept to volume production in under one year
- Continues to be the #1 top selling myofasical release tool on the market today
From concept idea to the #1 selling myofasical release tool on the market in under one year!
“Design 1st’s designers and engineers demonstrated the right creativity and technical understanding, managing the entire product design process from idea to manufacturing.”
