I was in need of a roller to use after running, biking, and backpacking sessions to relax the muscles and to get a bit of a faster recovery. I have been using rollers for a couple of years and though most of them are pretty similar in their effectiveness, I would say not all are equal in terms of durability and build quality. In this case the roller is built for lasting; it is great and durable and offers enough resistance to decompress the most tight muscles. One of the greatest points in favor of this one is the lack of plastic odor, many of the foam rollers that you can get as cheaper options will have a stink of plastic, which does not impact their effectiveness but makes using them annoying.
More than a year ago, while skiing, a snowboarder ran into me at high speed. There was quite a bit of damage to my left leg. Using this roller, I'm making headway in releasing holding patterns from the injury. A few times, I've been able to feel a release during or after using the roller. I use it a few minutes per day. Among the variety of massage rollers on display at REI, this is the only one that was specific for myofascial release.
This is a great roller. Offers stiff resistance for sore muscles and the material is easy to clean.
hits good spots on the back rolls nice and easy amd is light
I bought this as a gift for my wife. This works well for undoing some of the knots. Before AM Yoga or just before bed, spreads out on this roller and relax your body.
This is a must need for all of your stretching needs!
great quality, a little shorter than expected but its firm yet comfortable
absolutely great roller. Would recommend it to anyone.
