Review on EPP Foam Roller For Back, Legs Exercise, Deep Tissue & Muscle Massage - 12", 18", 24", 36" High-Density Round By Yes4All. by Jerry Leon

I use this roller for myofascial release as prescribed by my doctor and physical therapist. Yes, it is very hard, but it’s supposed to be. Does it hurt? Sometimes. But myofascial release and massaging contracted or cramping muscles hurts. A lot sometimes. It also greatly relieves moderate chronic muscle pain. This foam roller is exactly the same in design as the one I used at my doctor’s office. If you’re looking for a foam roller to roll out your muscles like getting a Swedish massage, this roller may be too firm for you. If you are looking for a foam roller to address stiff contracted muscles in order to reduce pain, increase range of motion, or improve posture, this roller fits the bill at a reasonable price. So far it has been quite durable. I’ve used it twice a day for a month on both a wood surface with a yoga mat and without a mat on concrete. It still looks and feels the same as the day I received it. Two things to consider. The surface is a bit slippery, so it works better on a grippy surface such as a yoga mat. It hardly weighs a thing (when it gets delivered the box feels empty), but it’s bulky, so I wouldn’t travel with it unless I was just tossing it the car to use at the gym.
