Each wheel size is great for its own reason. We have 4 standard wheels. As you move down in size, there is more pressure on your back. Making our 6” wheel a great wheel if you are looking for a deep tissue massage. On the other end of the spectrum, the 12” wheel is a great wheel for stretching and is very gentle on your back. However you need something right in the middle, the 10” is perfect for you. With our 4” wheel, it is the perfect size for your neck. We highly recommend our 4 wheel pack that gives you a chance to experiment with what you like and develop your own routine!
Here's a video to see the difference.
The Chirp Wheel puts pressure on the muscles surrounding the spine. In doing so, the muscles are stretched and strengthened. The technical term for this is Myofascial Release. Myofascial is a fancy word for muscle, and release is referring to the tension within the muscle.
There are two main differences -- width and pressure.
1. All Chirp Wheels are 5" wide. This width is perfect for putting the pressure where it is needed along the spine and between the shoulder blades. A foam roller just steamrolls the whole area with no real focus.
2. Chirp Wheels come in 4 sizes (diameters) -- 12" 10" 6" and 4”. Due to the size change, the area in contact with the muscles at any given point provides a different amount of pressure. Think wearing high heels in the snow vs. actual snowshoes.

The Chirp Wheel+ has a rigid core made of an injection molded ABS plastic and is wrapped in EVA foam.
Due to the rigid core of the Chirp Wheel, each wheel can hold up to 500lbs. And if the wheel breaks, we have a 1 year warranty!
We have a 1 year warranty that covers any cracks in the plastic core! We will honour 3rd party sellers such as Rebel Sport and Physio's (Not Including Ebay resellers). Please reach out to the store you originally purchased it from with your Order number, email address, Shipping address, batch code, and a photo of your damaged wheel and we will work with them to get that replaced.
