Applications
Osso Corto can be used from head to toe for release and relief of muscles and fascia.
- Feet – roll and stretch your feet and toes using the different contours. Ideal for improving foot arch function and conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, hallux limitus and rigidus.
- Legs – roll under your calves or glide along your calves and hamstrings for an active stretch. Release your quads, adductors and ITB by gliding along fascial lines, or target specific trigger points with Osso’s ends and contours.
- Pelvic region – Osso’s contoured ends are ideal for releasing your glutes, piriformis, hip flexors and psoas.
- Shoulders and upper back – focus on specific trigger points using the flattened ends of Osso.
- Forearms, hands and wrists – roll, glide, hold or rotate your Osso for a variety of exercises for your upper limbs.
- Vestibular and balance – hold at arm’s length and focus on Osso’s “eye” to perform visual tracking exercises, great for improving vestibular function and balance.

Sustainable Materials
Osso Corto is made from sustainable materials such as beautiful Spotted Gum from Crafted Hardwoods, an innovative Australian company working with hardwood timber that is often overlooked — smaller logs or pieces considered “too imperfect” for traditional milling. Through innovation inspired by nature, these resources are given new life as strong, stable hardwood with unique grain and character. Read more about MAKARLU and the Crafted Hardwoods process.
We hand-coat the Spotted Gum hardwood with a high quality hardwax oil so it’s pleasant and warm to the touch. The coating allows the wood to breathe by integrating with it, rather than creating a skin. The oil is made from natural, sustainable raw materials (such as beeswax, carnauba wax and jojoba oil) and is non-toxic (food and toy safe, safe on bare skin).
Your Osso Corto comes in a stylish 100% wool felt pouch, also made in Australia!
Size and Weight
Osso Corto is 230mm long by 50mm diameter at its widest point, 30mm diameter in the centre. Together with the wool felt pouch it weighs a comfortable 300 grams.
