 The next-best thing to a deep tissue massage!Feb 20, 2006
By Michael
I recently came across a book that suggested using Self Myofascial Release (SMR) foam rollers to help stretch and reduce muscle ache/tension. I tried out a foam roller and used it for about half an hour going over my whole body, inch by inch. Wow! Amazing!
The Good: Results are great, as it works deep into your muscles. Easy to use on your own. Can reach most parts of your body without too much effort.
The Bad: Users have to "work" at rolling over the item, a procedure that may discourage some. Item firmness determines how deeply it can work into you. Your better off getting the largest roller available (currently 6" x 36"). I tried the 6" x 18" size, and while it worked adequately-I found myself wanting the roller to cover just a little more area.
The Verdict: Though you definately have to put a little work into moving your body over the roller, the results are spectacular. You may determine how much the roller works into the tissue by controlling how much body weight you put on it. I just can't recommend this item enough... though choose your firmness wisely.

Great for rehab, workoutsFeb 17, 2006
By A. R. Khan
The foam is supposed to be hard; it's very good at relieving tension in your back muscles when you roll on it. It's already done wonders for the knots in my back. Also, if you're into pilates, this works out great. I bought it mostly for my back pain. The sensation that you feel when you roll out on it is supposed to be uncomfortable and a little painful, but after using it daily, it will help your muscles in the end.

Good quality and quite versatile - also good for some yogaFeb 06, 2007
By AeroMan
"AeroMan"
I am very pleased with this roller. As a massage aid, which is what I bought it for, it's great. It is also firm enough that I can use it for some balance exercises (which would be difficult if it were softer). Although some have complained that it is too hard for massage on some body spots, you can lessen the impact of the hardness by positioning/supporting your body properly. It also appears to be well made, so i would expect it to last for quite a while.
EDIT- two and a half years later- I am still using this thing and it has held up beautifully. In addition to the massage I do (back and ITB), I am now using it as a yoga bolster, and it's working out great! This was a very good investment

Solution to IT Band injuryJun 26, 2007
By C. Hirst
Of course this is not the complete solution, but IT Band is incredibly difficult to stretch, and a very painful injury if not treated. I was able to stretch my IT band better than any other method. I now regularly use the foam roller before and after training (running). Also use it for deep massage on calves and back. Very useful product.

 Foam roller does the jobMar 21, 2008
By Spunky
This foam roller is the proper density for breaking up fascia and adhesions in large muscle groups. The fabric covering the foam is attractive and sturdy, and should stand up to long and hard (proper) use. The cover also provides an appropriate amount of traction to prevent slipping off the roller.
