Chirp Wheels
Is the Chirp Wheel the same thing as the Plexus Wheel?
How does the Chirp Wheel work?
Which wheel size should I get?
What's the difference between a Chirp Wheel and a foam roller?
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 3 sizes (diameters) -- 12" 10" and 6". 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.

What's the difference between the Chirp Wheel+ and the Chirp Wheel Sport?
The Chirp Wheel+ has over 20mm of padding along with a spinal canal for your spine to rest. If you're just looking for back pain relief, this is the wheel for you.
The Chirp Wheel Sport has about 6mm of padding and no spinal canal. While it can be used like the Plexus Wheel+ for back pain, it is also very versatile in the sense that it can be used on different parts of the body like a foam roller due to the even surface and higher pressure.
What are they made of?
The Chirp Wheel+ has a rigid core made of an injection molded ABS plastic and is wrapped in EVA foam.
