We researched and selected for you the top Foam Roller picks.

 

Foam-rolling is the common term for the fancy named technique of self-myofascial release, which helps to soothe tight, sore areas (known as “trigger points”) and speeds up muscle recovery. It brings your muscles to their normal function, so that they become again elastic, healthy, and ready to perform at a moment’s notice.

It’s good for anyone who sits a lot (the fascia can tighten in response to being held sedentary for too long), anyone who moves a lot (the fascia can tighten when at rest after being used a lot), and anyone who likes to work out (the fascia can tighten in response to being overworked, and also may tighten in other places to compensate for muscles that are overworked).

 

Here are 5 great foam rollers, perfect to use at home.

TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller

The TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller is 13 inch long, durable and produced from a high quality multi-density EVA foam over a rigid, hollow plastic tube.

It’s soft, yet very solid, which makes it the perfect tool to roll legs, thighs, upper back/shoulders, or anywhere to aid recovery after crossfit or extensive exercise. There are a few different textures on the roller to use in different areas that you are sore in.

Some users claim that they have been using it for 4 years already, and yet it remains in perfect condition, and an essential part of their day-life.

It’s not the cheapest option out there ($29.99). And if you are looking for a longer, more firm Foam Roller, probably you should check other options, otherwise this one is a quality decision.

It is offered in 5 different colors (Black, Camo, Lime, Orange, Pink) and comes with free online instructional videos.

 

 

LuxFit Premium High Density Foam Roller

This firm “classic” foam roller with smooth surface comes in three lengths, 12, 18 and 32 inches. Depending on the body areas that need treatment, and the person’s size, some people can go for the shorter size, while others prefer the long roller.

–       The small roller is best for a single small areas like the neck

–       The medium is great for all over the body including legs

–       The large isn’t necessary unless tour over 6 ft tall or weigh over 250lbs.

However if using a foam roller for a first time, the larger gives more room to roll on and it’s easier to learn how to roll on it.

The material is Molded polypropylene foam technology, and it has has a 2 lbs. per cubic foot density, that will not lose its shape after heavy use.

The price of the 32 inch foam roller is $24.95, and the shorter versions cost less. It does not come with any online exercise instructions, nut should you consider to search for such, you can check these good booklets with exercises.

 

 

 

RumbleRoller – Textured Muscle Foam Roller

The RumbleRoller comes with a unique patented designed solid core EVA foam that massages more deeply than the usual roller. The specially designed nodules are firm but flexible, stretching soft tissue in multiple directions and effectively hitting trigger points, which makes them as closer as it gets to massage therapist’s thumbs.

Full-Size (31 inch) RumbleRoller is perfect if you plan to use it in a single location, like at home.  It’s long enough to roll the widest part of your back in one pass; you can roll both legs (quads, hamstrings, and/or calves) at the same time; and you can even transition from one IT band to the other without moving the roller.

For portability, you can choose the Compact (12 inch) RumbleRoller to fit easily in your gym bag, backpack, or carry-on luggage. The Compact is a favorite of many runners and triathletes who transport their RumbleRollers from race to race.

There are also two density variations: Original (Blue) with bumps that are more flexible and more actively grip and manipulate soft tissue, and Extra Firm (Black) with bumps that are considerably stiffer, and give it a “spikier” feel, for experienced users.

This is also the most expensive product in our selection, with price of $69.95 for the 31 inch variation.

 

 

Live Infinitely Deep Tissue Exercise Muscle Massager

The RumbleRoller comes with a unique patented designed solid core EVA foam that massages more deeply than the usual roller. The specially designed nodules are firm but flexible, stretching soft tissue in multiple directions and effectively hitting trigger points, which makes them as closer as it gets to massage therapist’s thumbs.

What is so special with this foam roller? It is the design of the outside EVA foam, and more particularly the unique spine channel in it. As experts say, it is not recommended to push directly your spine, so this foam roller cradles your spine while still being able to target your sore muscles.

It is really firm, due to its ABS plastic inner core and high density foam on top.

The size is perfect for most people (17 x 5 inches), which allows for you to massage both legs or a full back all at once, while still being a gym bag friendly.

This foam roller is offered in variation of 4 colors (black, green, blue, purple), and also comes with a free e-book.

The price is really attractive as well: $9.95.
