Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use it?
Ten to fifteen minutes per leg, most evenings, is where most people land. There is nothing to gain from grinding away for an hour, and if an area feels tender the next day, skip it for a day. Consistency does more here than intensity.
Which areas should I avoid?
Keep it off your spine, your neck, the backs of your knees, and anywhere a bone sits close to the surface like shins and ankles. Avoid varicose veins, bruises, broken skin, and anywhere that is actually injured or sharply painful. If you are pregnant, or you have circulation problems, blood clots, a pacemaker or any implant, talk to your doctor before using it. This is a comfort device, not a treatment.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
There is no heat, no suction and nothing applied to your skin — it is a covered roller moving against you, which makes it gentler than most things in this category. If bare skin feels like too much, use it over leggings or light clothing and start on speed one. If you have a skin condition, broken skin or a rash, or you are having any kind of treatment on the area, check with your GP or dermatologist first.
Can I use it on my back?
Lower back and glutes, yes — sit on the floor and lean back onto it. Keep it off the spine itself, same as any roller. For necks and shoulders you want our Pulse Roller; Terra is too long to bring up there comfortably.
How hard does it actually go?
Speeds one and two are gentle enough for tired feet. Four and five have real bite. The 60 lb stall force means it keeps turning under your bodyweight rather than stalling out.
Do I need someone else to use it?
No. That is the point of the cradle. Feet, calves, hamstrings, quads and glutes are all reachable sitting down, on your own.
How long does the battery last?
Up to two hours of regular use, so most people charge it every week or two rather than every session. It charges over USB-C.
Is it noisy?
About like a desk fan. Fine for the lounge room; not ideal on a phone call.
Can I take it away with me?
You can, but it is 50 cm and a bit over two kilos, so it is a boot-of-the-car item rather than a carry-on one. If you want something packable, look at our Pulse Roller.
How is this different from a massage gun?
A gun drives one head into one point, and you hold it and aim it. Terra rolls a hand-span of muscle at a time and holds itself. A gun is better if you want to dig into a single deep knot like a thumb. Terra is better for a whole calf, a whole hamstring, or the arch of a foot — and for doing it without effort.
How much is shipping?
Free on all orders within Australia, tracked, typically arriving in 3–7 days. Our head office is in Melbourne and we ship Australia-wide.
What if it is not for me?
Use it every night for a fortnight. If your legs do not feel better at the end of the day than they do right now, email us and we will refund you — no forms, no return depot, no argument.
