The next-best thing to a deep tissue massage!   Review Date: February 20, 2006 Reviewer: M. McCracken, Highlands Ranch, CO USA 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, workouts   Review Date: February 17, 2006 Reviewer: A. R. Khan, Urbana, IL US 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 yoga   Review Date: February 6, 2007 Reviewer: AeroMan, Nashua, NH United States 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 every one should come out of the womb with one of these in hand   Review Date: May 6, 2007 Reviewer: heather star, ca I injured my back in 2000 and still experience back pain although I am always over doing it. I have been going to a chiropractor for many years and she introduced this roller to me a few months ago. Since then I have been feeling awesome like I used to before my injury. I have been so excited about this product I have been telling all of my friends they have to get one weather or not they have back troubles. All I do for stretches is lay on the roller with my arms out to the sides, bent at the elbow and let gravity take my arms towards the floor. I also raise my arms in the air but real gentle and relaxed. No big work out just a light stretch. I stay like this for maybe 8 minutes. Then the awesome thing is when I am done I roll off the roller on to the floor and thats when the magic happens. All of a sudden, no more pain. I feel just like a new born baby. I not kidding. It's a miracle! This product was delivered to me the next day after I placed my order and I was so surprised by the fast response from the company. I think every one should own one of these, even for preventing tight muscles and soreness. Thank you!! Solution to IT Band injury   Review Date: June 26, 2007 Reviewer: C. Hirst, Eagle, ID 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.
