Review on Tiger Tail 18in Massage Stick Roller: Portable Deep Tissue Foam Roller for Legs, Calves, Thighs, Shins, Back, Neck - Myofascial Release Tool, Orange Black - The Original 18, Made in USA by Fred Alexander

I had a total knee replacement a few weeks ago. I had some unexpected complications with lots of knee swelling and muscle strains. My physical therapist started roller therapy because I was uncomfortable using a foam roller on the floor. Although this therapy was admittedly a bit painful at first, it gave me real relief and my quads, hamstrings and calves began to relax and my range of motion improved. Real relief came after each use of the roller. I decided I needed to make some permanent changes to my knee care regime and ordered Tiger Tail for myself, my physical therapist and another friend. I use it every day because I'm a little afraid of slipping and losing some of my freedom of movement that I've fought so hard for. I also use it on my healthy legs, neck, back and even arms after a workout. I love this thing, and the foam coating makes the ride a lot more bearable than the hard plastic roller I originally used. I will be buying a bigger Tiger Tail soon to find new ways to take better care of myself.
