I have had regular back aches and shoulder strains for numerous years due to over working my body with yard work during the summers and exercising regularly every week of the year. I periodically see my chiropractor for adjustments but they only last for a week or two and then I need readjustments. I use the roller twice a day (early AM and late afternoon or night) for no more than 5 minutes per roller session. I
n short, the product works superbly in that it substantially reduces and in some cases eliminates my aches and strains after only a 5 minute session. I will admit I was very skeptical that the roller would make such a difference but the reality is it has made a huge positive difference. I no longer need my PT, and I see the chiropractor much less, and I reduced my aches and strains to hardly noticeable.
Also I highly recommend the 36 inch length because it allows you to better iron out your muscle aches from back to butt and across the spine when using the roller top to bottom along your spine area. When using the roller left to right - wide area - across your shoulder blades, it irons out knots in your muscles and rejuvenates the sore area within minutes.
Highly recommend this product for daily use and effective healing of aches and sores common among young and old due to overworked muscles, stress and or athletic injury,
The firmness of this 36" long by 6" in diameter roller I would say is extremely firm, bordering on downright 'hard'. I do have fibromyalgia and some days I'm just more pained that others. Bearing that in mind, it may be perfect for users who are not tender to the touch.
I work out with weights 3-4x's a week which includes pull-ups and heavy weights. That's unusual for fibro patients, but it's who I was before that diagnosis so I keep it up and manage the pain with non-drug interventions such as stretching. This roller helps me to stretch my back and while painful most of the time I'm doing it, it does release the knotted up muscles. If you have a similar condition or arthritis, this roller may pain you - until you stop and then you'll be pleasantly surprised.
This roller will not break down easily. I weigh 145 pounds and I'd be surprised if a person weighing 200 or more wouldn't feel the same way. It's made of compressed bits of foam, and short of the dog using it as a chew toy - it'll most likely last me for years to come, even with daily use.
In addition to stretching my back, the roller works the kinks out of my arms and legs too. There are several books to help you figure out how to use this item, or you can use your favorite search engine to search for 'foam roller' or 'foam roller exercises' for both videos and articles to help you discover ways to use your roller.
