Foam rollers

[rado]

Who's got one and do you use it regularly and like it?

I've been using one and feels great:grin:

I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome in September. I've had 3 months of physical therapy and cortisone injections. Specific stretches and a foam roller are my methods of pain management.

I honestly don't know how I've managed without one. It's very effective at hitting trigger points.

Wow, that good huh? Ever since doing xfit, it's part of the warm up/cool down. It hurts, but it's a good feeling hurt:) if that makes any sense. So I've been thinking of getting like a cheap one($30-40) and using it mostly for my neck and shoulders, seems to be a continuous problem of mine...especially doing the snatch. My shoulders are too tight to get the bar over my my head as I should, I do it....but it's a bit of work and shouldn't be this way.

Yes for me, it is that good. Obviously can't speak for anyone else, but I can bring a pain level of 8-9 down to a 3-4 with just a foam roller. It's incredibly painful when I roll across the trigger points but it's equally as effective.

Where do I buy one and what is a good one? I have all kinds of tight ass knots in my upper/mid back.

I use one but only when I need something fixed.

Amazon. Just find a high density one with good reviews. $30-40

I want to start doing it more frequently, just as I sit there and watch tv....I'll roll on the floor, I mean use the roller:D I miss my jits:)

Got a high density one yesterday. $40 for a piece of foam that I know cost about $5 to make pisses me off but what can I do.

It's definitely not the most comfortable thing in the world to roll a tight area over the roller but like rado said it's a good kind of hurt.

The IT bands running down the side of your legs and piriformis (deep glute muscle) are the worst for me.
