36 Inch Soft Foam Roller for Physical Therapy and Exercise Recovery - FasciaTherapy Technology - Low Density Exercise Foam Roller for Full Body Gentle Compression - Blue

This is a very nice foam roller. Paid quite a bit more for it than I thought I ever would for a foam roller but it came highly recommended from a co-worker. It has a softer feel to it so it doesn't feel as stiff. When I would roll with other foam rollers without the "give" it would be a bit painful rolling over tight, sensitive areas, such as IT band. With the Melt roller, its softer feel allows it to form around the area and you sink into the roller more. It has more of a massage feel than a rolling pin feel. I find that I am able to focus and spend more time on tight and sensitive areas because it doesn't hurt quite so bad. Great roller, highly recommend if you don't mind paying a bit more.

I’m in love with this foam roller, I can really tell the difference between this and the hard foam roller, my back feels so much better, I use it for my legs too, I felt it was a bit pricey but it’s totally worth it.

Of the two I’ve purchased, this is the preferred one. I think the price is high, but it it lasts as long as I feel it will, it’ll be worth the price. The softness compared to the other roller is real nice

Skeptical due to the silly high price and possibly unproven "science," I nonetheless ordered this after reading Sue Hitzmann's book about her MELT method, in absolute desperation after having tried nearly everything else for nearly lifelong joint pain. I never thought I'd get any version of a roller, though; I had, like Hitzmann (as she explains in the book), shunned the hard foam rollers offered in gyms and rehab clinics. They really hurt, and who needs more pain? But her point is to provide a means of addressing the fascia tissue, a long-neglected source of dysfunction and pain, without having to go to a therapist: "Hands-off therapy," she calls it. Do it yourself. So I figured it was worth risking the $80 for a *soft* foam roller and following the instructions in the book. As per her warning, the first few sessions of DIY fascia rolling produced discomfort but of a new sort compared to my usual. As a former competitive gymnast and runner--with hypermobile joints (EDS)--I know about pain and rehab and joint surgery. I had been told on several occasions that I would not be able to walk past age 40 and "it's a miracle you are not in a wheelchair." I enjoy defying the experts but I have crutches, braces, and walking sticks permanently on standby in a corner for those really bad days. And now, well past age 40, I have no good days. Oddly, though, the post-rolling pain was located in new places such as my back, where I normally have few issues, and it was bilateral and generalized--any back pain I customarily have is usually very localized, one-sided and responsive to chiropractic balancing. Bilateral, diffuse pain means something different has been addressed, and is changing. But I stuck with it. And am utterly grateful for this simple, at-home method of rolling out the stuck tissue between skin and muscle because for the first time in months I SUDDENLY HAD ZERO KNEE PAIN. This is, for me, unheard of; I am normally unable to sleep all night due to having to rearrange my joints as the pain wakes me up. I am now sleeping all night in any position I want. I have to emphasize again: For the past few decades this has been literally impossible. As far as I'm concerned this was eighty bucks well invested. I do my MELT rolling religiously in the evening with the TV on. I use this goofy blue roller on every part of my body. Sometimes it really hurts. Sometimes I feel it worse within hours or the next day but the discomfort dissipates and in its place is something I had not felt for most of my life: 100% pain relief. Normal. Heck, who cares about the how or why. You will have to pry this device from my cold, dead hands.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! This was recommended to me by a friend and she had it with her on a beach trip at HHI. We were on a girls beach trip and we all ended up using this to stretch and roll on. I ordered immediately upon returning home and have been using ever since. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone that has tightness in back, hips or legs. Just using this and rolling has helped me greatly!

There is nothing bad I can say about this products! It's ridiculously amazing. I purchased the larger one and I can do so much with it (and my clients). It bounces back to shake after use. Rigid enough to be effective but not to stiff like the hard foam rollers.

So glad to get this! Product looks just as described and I will immediately start using it. Delivery wasn't great ( usps left it laying up against our mailbox, down the road from our house) lucky I came by when I did! But that's on the post office. I have also order the balls for hands and feet with a book. I have read great things on these. Seems to be of good quality.

My husband and I are loving this roller - We own at least 5 different rollers, different densities and shapes, and this is the one that honors goals towards good night's sleep, immediate recovery from muscle soreness, and helps to relieve hip, neck and low back pain. The MELT Method has helped me in so may ways ,but ever since I started using this roller specifically designed for the technique, my other rollers started to feel lonely - it's gentle and helps the body to relax , and when relaxed it starts to feel firm if that makes sense because it tempers to what you body needs at the given moment, It's almost like a mood rock. It's also flexible and grippy so east to use, and a plus - skin on roller helps to create a tugging sensation when doing back of thigh sheer to hydrate and enhance tone of the legs ( cellulite treatment ) I must also add that when using the roller on the spine, or under the hips or base of skull, it's comfortable and feels good when you are treating the body for stiffness or pain.
