It Rolls Right Over the Knot.
- Flat surface can't dig into the IT band or deep quad tissue
- Rolls past trigger points instead of breaking them up
- Zero heat. Zero vibration. Just pressure.
Knee pain · the real cause
Your knees aren't the problem. The muscles around them are.
Tight quads, cranky IT bands, and locked-up calves put every ounce of stress on your knees. The Meteor loosens them in minutes — with heat and vibration your foam roller and ice pack can't touch.
01
Reaches deep into quads, hamstrings, IT band, and calves
02
120°F heat + calibrated vibration in one cordless ball
03
Feel looser in 30 seconds. Feel the difference in days.

Why nothing in your drawer is working
Your Knees Hurt Because Your Tools Don't Reach What's Causing It.
Foam rollers roll over it. Ice numbs it. Massage guns bruise it. Here's why nothing you own is actually fixing your knees.
✕
Numbs Now. Hurts Later.
- Tightens the exact muscles causing your knee pain
- Shuts down blood flow when you need more of it
- Even Dr. Gabe Mirkin (who invented R.I.C.E.) now says stop icing
✕
Tethered to an Outlet. Useless Anywhere Else.
- Can't bring it to the gym, on a plane, or to the couch without wrestling a cord
- Heat alone loosens tissue — but it doesn't break up knots
- One setting. No vibration. No targeting.
✕
Too Aggressive Where You Need It Most.
- Pounds tender tissue around the knee instead of easing it open
- You have to hold it the entire time — arms tired, knee still tight
- Can't self-treat the back of your leg without twisting into a pretzel
✕
All Pressure. No Science.
- No heat. No vibration. Just a hard rubber ball you paid $8 for
- Can't reach deep tissue without grinding against bone
- The cheap "heated" ones? Microwave-dependent and gone cold in 10 minutes
✕
The Pain Comes Back the Second You Get Off the Couch.
- Resting lets tight muscles stay tight
- The longer you avoid moving, the stiffer the surrounding tissue gets
- Skipped runs. Skipped workouts. Skipped weekends. And the knee still hurts.
Every tool in your drawer does one thing. Your knees need something that does it all — and reaches what they can't.
The fix
The Real Fix for Knee Pain Isn't On Your Knee. It's On the Muscles Pulling On It.
Your knees don't hurt in a vacuum. Tight quads yank on your kneecap. Tight IT bands pull on the outside of your knee. Tight calves and hamstrings lock the joint from below and behind. When those muscles stay tight, your knees take the hit — every step, every stair, every mile.
That's why stretching, icing, and resting never seem to add up to much. They don't release the tissue that's causing the problem.
The Meteor does.
It's a cordless massage ball that combines 120°F therapeutic heat with calibrated vibration — the exact two things your muscles need to let go. Heat drives blood flow deep into the tissue. Vibration breaks up knots and trigger points. The ball shape hits the spots a foam roller physically can't reach.
Five minutes on your quads. Five minutes on your IT band. A minute under each calf. That's the routine your knees have been waiting for.
- Loosens the quads, IT band, hamstrings, and calves that make your knees hurt
- Heat + vibration in 30 seconds — not a 30-minute warm-up routine
- Cordless, rechargeable, and small enough for your desk, couch, or hotel
- One tool replaces your foam roller, heating pad, massage gun, and lacrosse ball
Every Spot That Makes Your Knees Hurt — In One 5-Minute Routine.
01 / QUADS
Front of thigh
The four muscles that yank on your kneecap with every step, stair, and squat.
03 / HAMSTRINGS
Back of thigh
Pulls on the back of your knee — locks the joint when tight or fatigued.
02 / IT BAND
Outer thigh
The tendon strap from hip to knee — the #1 culprit in runner's knee.
04 / CALVES
Below the knee
Pulls up through the back of the knee and down into the Achilles.
The science
Two Forces. One Device. The Only Combo That Actually Releases Tight Tissue.
Heat alone loosens muscles. Vibration alone breaks up knots. Together, they do in 5 minutes what either one can't do in an hour.
120°F
The exact therapeutic window — not warmer, not cooler.
Most recovery tools pick one and stop there. Heating pads give you heat. Massage guns give you vibration. Foam rollers give you pressure. None give you all three — and that's why none of them fix your knees.
The Meteor heats to 120°F — the exact window where blood flow surges into the tissue, carrying oxygen and healing enzymes in, flushing metabolic waste out. Below 100°F, heat does nothing. Above 130°F, it damages skin.
Its vibration was calibrated by a BYU mechanical engineering professor and a physical therapy PhD — tuned to stimulate the mechanoreceptors that block pain signals from reaching your brain.
Heat opens the tissue. Vibration breaks up the knots. Your bodyweight does the pressing. 30 seconds is enough to feel the difference.
- 120°F therapeutic heatEngineered to the exact sweet spot for tissue repair.
- Calibrated vibrationFrequencies designed by PhDs, not guessed at by a factory.
- Cordless, USB-C rechargeableNo outlet, no microwave, no tether.
- Lie on itYour bodyweight is the pressure — no arm fatigue, no grip.

The origin
Built in a Dorm Room. Researched for Two Years. Offered a Deal by Every Shark on Shark Tank.
The Meteor wasn't invented by a committee. It was built by two guys who needed it to exist.
Shaq was a professional 800-meter runner. His body was his career — and every recovery tool on the market was failing it. Foam rollers rolled past his worst knots. Lacrosse balls were too hard. Heating pads tethered him to a wall.
Jono was a BYU mechanical engineering student. He watched his teammate struggle with the same tools everyone else was stuck with — and he knew the problem wasn't effort. It was design.
So they teamed up with two BYU professors — Dr. Jonathan Blotter and Dr. Brent Feland — and spent the next two years doing something nobody in the recovery space had bothered to do.
They researched what actually works.
Not what felt intense. Not what looked good on TV. The exact frequency. The exact amplitude. The exact temperature soft tissue responds to. Then they built a device around the science — instead of building a device and backing into the science afterward.
Then they walked onto Shark Tank. All five sharks made offers. They closed the deal with Lori Greiner.
Today, the Meteor is in the hands of Olympic marathoners, CrossFit champions, physical therapists, and people who just want to get out of bed in the morning without their feet stabbing.
The team
The Meteor Was Designed by PhDs. Tested by Olympians.
Four people. Four disciplines. Two years of research before a single unit shipped.
-
Shaquille “Shaq” Walker
Co-Founder · Pro 800m Runner
World-class middle-distance runner who lived the problem every day. Every design decision ran past his actual body before it went into production.
-
Jonathan “Jono” DiPeri
Co-Founder · Mechanical Engineer
BYU mechanical engineering grad who spent two years building and rebuilding prototypes until the frequency, heat, and form factor matched what the research called for.
-
Dr. Jonathan Blotter, PhD
Mech. Engineering Prof. · BYU
Calibrated the exact vibration frequencies and amplitudes — the engineering behind why the Meteor hits the therapeutic sweet spot where cheap massage balls miss.
-
Dr. Brent Feland, PhD, PT
Exercise Science & PT · BYU
Brought clinical PT experience into the design — making sure every feature mapped to real tissue physiology, not just what felt good in a demo.

Olympic Marathoner · 6th, Rio 2016
Joined as a product collaborator and field-tester. If it survived a marathoner's training schedule, it could survive yours.
