Customer Reviews

Cheaper than a massuese
After reading several articles on bodybuilding forums as to the many benefits of foam rolling for recovery and tissue health, I finally found one of these rollers at a Target store nearby.

I had been suffering from severe delayed onset muscle soreness in my legs and lower back after a heavy weightlifting session. After watching the short DVD, I started rolling out small sections...as much as I could stand. The pain is very intense on tight muscles; but the payoff is immediate. As soon as you finish rolling a section, you can feel the reduced stress and tension in the muscle. My legs normally hurt for a full 4 days after a leg workout, and with the use of this product, I was done hurting in 2 days.

Perfect for Lower Back Issues
Maybe a little pricey for what it is, but it sure works for me. Just a couple of minutes 2 or 3 times a day and it releives all of the stress in my lower back. It is instant, albeit temporary relief from my lower back strain and posture issues.

Worth the money
I agree with previous reviewers, I was skeptical about the price for the foam roll and a dvd, but it has been great and the DVD is a short helpful tutorial in showing you different ways to use the foam roll to stretch or massage different areas. The foam roll is really sturdy and lightweight, and the DVD I have found extremely helpful in showing me exactly what to do, and yet the DVD's tutorial portion only lasts about 10 minutes so it's not like you have to put up with some lengthy production. I use it for my whole back and traps.
