Myo+ gear is built to be used hard, week in and week out. Please read this guide before using any Myo+ product so you get the most out of it and stay safe.
Important safety warning
Serious injury can occur if a Myo+ product is used incorrectly.
- Read all instructions before use, and use each product only for its intended purpose.
-
Check with a doctor or physio before starting if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, a recent injury or surgery, or any other medical condition.
-
Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness or shortness of breath.
- Our guides and instructions are general information. They don’t replace advice from a medical professional.
- If someone else uses your Myo+ gear, such as players in your team or your kids, make sure they know these instructions and are supervised where needed.
General safety (all products)
-
Not a toy. Keep products away from young children and pets.
-
Inspect before every use. Check for tears, cracks, splits or wear. Never use a damaged product. Contact us instead.
-
Move with control. Perform all exercises slowly and with control.
-
Clear your space. Use products on a flat, stable surface free of debris and sharp objects. Remove jewellery, tie back long hair and wear fitted clothing.
Collapsible Roller
-
Keep fingers clear when opening or closing the roller. Make sure it’s fully open and locked before use.
-
Maximum load: 130kg. Don’t stand on the roller or use it as a step or seat.
-
Avoid rolling directly over your spine, neck, joints, bones, or any injured, bruised or inflamed area.
- Start with light pressure and short sessions of 30–90 seconds per area, then build up over time.
Resistance bands (MyoBand, MyoBand Flex, PowerBand, StretchBand)
-
Protect your eyes. Never use a band in a way that could snap it towards your head or face. We recommend wearing safety glasses.
-
Don’t over-stretch. Never stretch a band beyond three times its resting length.
-
Check anchor points. Inspect bands for tears or nicks before each use, especially where they wrap around an anchor. Vary your anchor position to spread wear.
-
Anchor securely. Only anchor to stable, fixed, smooth objects.
-
Doors: never anchor so that pulling could open the door. Always pull in the direction the door closes.
-
Poles and posts: make sure they can’t bend, snap or move under tension.
-
Secure your feet when standing on a band, so it can’t slip out.
-
Never let go under tension. Return the band slowly to its resting length before releasing it.
-
Latex warning: the MyoBand Flex and PowerBand contain natural latex, which may cause allergic reactions. Don’t use them if you have a latex allergy. The MyoBand and StretchBand are latex-free.
Massage Ball & Hyper Trigger
- Avoid the front and sides of the neck, the spine, bony areas, and any injured, bruised or inflamed area.
- Work into one spot for no more than 60–90 seconds at a time.
- Ease off if you feel sharp, radiating or nerve-like pain.
Fold Mat
- Use on a flat, dry surface. Make sure the mat is fully unfolded and flat before use.
- Check it doesn’t slide on smooth floors before doing dynamic movements.
Care & cleaning
-
Rollers, balls and mat: wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap after use, then air dry.
-
Bands: hand wash in mild soapy water. Hang or lay flat to air dry out of direct sun. Rinse promptly with fresh water after contact with chlorinated pool water or salt water.
-
Leather carry bag: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Don’t soak or machine wash it. Use a leather conditioner every few months. Genuine leather develops a natural patina over time. That’s part of its character, not a defect.
-
Drawstring bag: hand wash cold and air dry.
Storage
- Store all products in a clean, cool, dry place.
- Don’t leave them in direct sunlight, in the rain, or in a hot car. Heat and UV light break down bands and foam faster.
