PRO-ROLLER Standard Density Foam Roller - Durable Roller for Back Massage, Deep Tissue Foam Roller Exercises, Stretching, Fitness, Yoga and Pilates - 36 Inches by 6 Inches, Blue

This is the best! Very therapeutic. My husband loves it for rolling out tired back and leg muscles. It’s the best out there. You won’t be disappointed. Buy it!

I did hesitate because of the price, but I am pleased I bought this roller. It is exactly the right firmness to use both as a back roller (stretching the spine), and support for chest stretches. It compresses evenly and comfortably, so you feel stable and able to focus on your exercise regimen.

I love this foam roller! I have had several others but this one is superior. I used it at a PT clinic and then saw that my Pilates studio had it as well. After using it a few times in those settings, I knew I had to get one for home. It’s firm and effective. It is long enough that I can roll out my whole spine on it. With its density, it is very good at producing that “hurts so good” type of pain that I am looking for in a foam roller. Although it is on the more expensive side compared to other foam rollers on the market, I think it’s absolutely worth it.

This is the roller to get. These foam rollers soften and torque and change shape over time. This one is hard enough that it remains fairly firm and straight and this is critically important to get the benefits from such rollers. Physical Therapists all use this one but it is true that they may have the cheaper softer ones for people just starting out on the roller and are struggling through the initial stages of inflamation or injury. Otherwise, THIS is the roller to get and I would suggest you ignore the few complaints about it being "too hard". You want these rollers hard for several reasons: 1. To do what they are intended to do, 2. To remain rigid and straight longer than a week. If you are using the roller properly, yes - you will have some discomfort and even what some might describe as "pain" which is why you don't get on these things and roll on them quickly; they are meant to work with slowly as you gradually use them to help to bring order to traumatized muscle and connective tissue. Your body will adapt if you use the roller regularly and what seems "hard" today re this roller will in 3.5 weeks of rolling everyday or every other day seem almost soft and a pleasurable nice gentle massage after that. So stick with it, don't go get a cheaper softer roller, and use it AS DIRECTED - yes even you, the non-expert, who thinks you know just exactly how hard or soft these things should be. The roller is for massage as well as stability (strengthening) work and again, in my professional experience in the trade, this is the best one out there. The only better one I've experienced is one I made by using plastic pipe from plumbers supply and glued sticky mats to the outside of the pipe. This one is slightly softer than using my home-made pipe one; this one is the perfect consistency of hard enough to do the job but soft enough not to break anything.

I bought this and one of the more expensive rollers, based upon the reviews. I kept the this one for the following reasons. It was just slightly softer and I couldn’t justify the higher price since My use would be limited to myself. You should know that this roller appears to be ground or to a round shape. As such it is not precisely cylindrical. It seemed ok for my use. If I were going to use this a lot or if multiple people are using it, I’d opt for a more expensive roller. They are perfectly round and the finish seems more durable.

After trying other foam rollers, talking with my massage therapist and my Chiropractor I settled on this particular one. It's highly recommended by my Chiropractor who also does physical therapy. I work out with heavy weights as well as lots of cardio (biking, running, etc) 6 days a week. This roller warms up my muscles before my work outs and cools them down after and it only takes just a few minutes. It's amazing. Muscle soreness has been greatly reduced as well as all knots from sitting all day are worked out. If I didnt work out, I would still roll just for the massage and pain relief alone. I use to get massages 2-3 times a month..NOW? only once a month (and I only do it because i love it - not because I need it) A cool side note, my core strength has been greatly enhanced by the use of this roller in order to roll properly you will deveop core. My husband use to laugh at me everyday...but recently he has had some knots in his back. I convinced him to roll and now he is HOOKED!! I cannot EVER be without a roller....this particular one is of EXCELLENT quality and will not deform. I am suprised how relatively inexpensive this is because the stores carry inferior ones for about the same price. Buy this one.

This provides an amazing massage that hurts so good. You'll swing your legs from their sockets like your free and unlocked.

Works great for my back. Solid and well made.

Excellent product, despatched immediately.Thank you

It's OK but very hard no give at all

It is not too hard, perfect softness to massage my back and IT Band :)

Very firm. Have three people using this roller regularly for the last few months and it still looks and feels like new. This roller will last so much longer than the white foam ones. Highly recommend!

I've blown through at least 3 other foam rollers and none have been able to withstand my use of them for as long as this has. It was referred to me by my Pilates instructor who insisted on this brand, this type and I'm glad I took her advice! I was/am a marathon runner and while I have a love/hate relationship with the roller, I certainly know the difference when one works and when one stops working. Hands down - worth the investment over anything else you can buy in a sports store or running related store. Highly recommend.
