LuxFit Foam Roller, Speckled Foam Rollers for Muscles '3 Year Warranty' High Density Foam Roller for Physical Therapy Exercise Deep Tissue Muscle Massage MyoFacial Release Back Roller (Blue, 24 Inch)

This is a very sturdy foam roller and it works very well. Just takes a little getting used to. It helps with trigger points from myofascial pain syndrome. The pain they can cause can be unbearable. This helps to work through those points and thus the pain is relieved. I love it. It is long as described. I may cut mine in half. I took it to a Chiro appt. and Chiro was very impressed with it because it is not made cheaply but is sturdy and almost hard like. I had contacted the company because for some reason I did not get an email with a link to the videos and they sent them to me immediately and apologized. The videos are very instructive and help you to use the roller the correct way. I would recommend to anyone with this need and I would buy fromm selller anytime.

Absolutely love this foam roller and so glad I bought this color. I was originally just going to buy your old, standard black-ish grey one like they supply at the gym but this looked so fun so I figured, why the heck not. Excellent choice on my behalf. The quality is excellent and the speckled color is so fun. I actually bought this roller as an upgrade from the one I had (an 18-inch) roller but it had that squishy pillow layered over PVC piping type stuff. Was not a fan from the start, but I received it as a gift. And since I wasn't specific in the type I wanted that was what I got. Don't get me wrong, some people really like those kind but they don't come close to the quality of this high density foam, nor do they deliver the kind of pressure required to work through problem areas (in my opinion). I will say the only thing I'm not a huge fan of are the videos they sent-or at least the short one featuring the male, haven't watched the other one yet. Unless you're doing very small meticulous movements (or no movement at all), you're not allowing your body the best avenue of relief. When our bodies form tension they form into balls or knots. Those same knots are like buttons. We push buttons DOWN. The harder the tension, the more pressure we use on said button. You wouldn't push across the button so why would you roll across the muscle? Find the knot and use your roller to smash that button! It's the same principal as a deep tissue massage. If you're just constantly rolling over your painful areas back and forth you're going to "tick off" your muscle and it's going to contract further to protect itself. Your best bet is to just apply constant hard pressure in a progressive manner. Lay on that painful spot and breathe deeply. The pain sucks but it will correct itself faster!

I know that firmness is much better with therapeutic tools such as this, in order to deliver the most relilef. But this takes firmness to an excruciating level. I'm a big guy, 6'!' and 240#. My weight alone can crush soft foam rollers--and it has. But this this yikes! I have to lie on it for ten minutes just to jest acclimated. After that, it's super for relieving stressed muscles, tendons, whatever. I love the thing I just hate to take it from behind the closet door and think about lying on it every night before bed. But I do it bc it really works. If you're a Tuff Mudder kind of athlete, you'll appreciate the hardness of this tool. It's great. But if you are a bit skittish, get one of those blue foam ones that have a little bit of surface give to them when you lie on them.

Upon shipment, the seller sent an e-mail with attached suggestions for use. A nice and helpful touch for what would seem to be a cheap and simple product. The foam roller is appropriately dense. It has seen use on carpet, yoga mats, hardwood, and tile alike and seems to be holding together very well, as none of the foam has flaked or chipped off. The foam has rows of clustered textured dots that I assume are for traction on the surface you're rolling on, but ultimately I feel they're more decorative than anything, as the foam itself provides sufficient friction. Good product, simple and effective.

I recently started to use foam rollers at the gym per my trainers suggestion, but some days I would skip the gym and work out at home so I would be so sore. I simply had to get a foam roller for home. This item has held up to my use as well as the 4 other people in my households use. (Which is a lot) The foam is sturdy enough to get in there and massages the muscle, yet it does squish just enough that it doesn't hurt my back or the more tender areas to roll. It holds it shape perfectly even for one of my family members who is about 280lbs. It without a doubt helps reduce muscle soreness after a big weight lifting session. Or in the morning when I just wake up and need a good stretch out. If something ever happens to this one, I would certainly buy another. Would love to have more color options for the speckles though to match the rest of my workout gear.

I got this for my mother she was having back problems and it relieved a lot of her pain

I really like this foam roller. I am happy that it came up under most popular or highly recommended on Amazon when I was searching. I am new to foam rolling, but it has been so great! The videos that they suggested when I purchased this have been a helpful introduction too. I mostly purchased this roller for my glutes, but I have been using it on my legs and back as well. I really like that I am working my muscles in ways that I can't on my own. If you are the least bit interested in foam rolling I feel like this is a great one to get because it is not too expensive, but still really great quality.

It is a nice roller but the photo of the product grossly misrepresents the length. When I received it, I was shocked at how they had photoshopped the image or used a longer product to represent what they would ship instead. I had a very specific use in mind for this roller and I cannot use it for my intended purpose because it is way too short in length. The seller needs to show a realistic photo that does not mislead buyers. I now realize that the size could be chosen, but the photo should represent the size selected. If the photo changed per size, then I could have seen that I needed to choose another size.
