CanDo Black Composite High-Density Foam Rollers for Muscle Restoration Massage Therapy Sport Recovery and Physical Therapy 6" x 12" Half-Round

I bought a 36 in and 12 in roller. Best. Thing. Ever. My husband and I both use them. We typically roll our backs on the 36 because it is very spacious and supportive. You don't feel like you're going to fall off/have to balance like some other rollers/wheels. I also use it for complete spinal relaxation. It's quite long and I get support from my lower back all the way to the base of my head, even being quite tall and having a long torso (I'm a female, 5'10). I use the 12 in roller far more than my husband. I like to use it for scapular exercise, I use it as a spacer to keep my shoulders equal distance and locked tight. My physical therapist thought it was a great idea for my situation when I told him about it. I also use it when I do reverse crunches. I like to hold it between my feet to make them more challenging. These are good quality rollers and very durable. We use them more often than we expected and I am very pleased with them!

This half roll is like the one I use in the gym. It is great for doing eccentric calf raises, especially if you are recovering from an injury like a herniated L 5 disk. It also provides the best stretch for calves. My calves can feel fine if I stretch them without the half roll so I keep the roll tucked by my bathroom sink so that I can do a quick check to determine if my muscles are tighter than I think. I also stretch while I brush my teeth so that I dont forget and my calves stay nice and limber. With your heel on the floor and the ball of your foot on the roll, slowly lean forward and breathe...feels so good . I think it keeps calf cramps at bay as well...so a stretch before bed is a must. A great balance exercise is to walk across 2 or 3 rolls placed end to end...like a balance beam only safer. Place them next to a wall or hand rail to steady yourself as necessary. Stand tall, shoulders back, core engaged, chin up, eyes straight ahead and walk deliberately and slowly. Balance will improve within days of doing this exercise. I think everyone can benefit from both these simple exercises.

Very sturdy; excellent quality.

Good, firm roller. Don’t use too often but good for rolling out stiff muscles or relieving cramps.

This was suggested to raise the effectiveness of heel rises in knee replacement therapy. My after surgery exercises include 30 reps of heel raises using both legs. By the time you get close to that number of reps you will be feeling the burn on the back of your legs. There may be other uses for it, but this has made this segment of my exercise routine far more effective.

It is nice to have some information that helps those looking for the information that can help them. READ and find other sources of information too. Take that information, discuss it with your doctor to help you understand what is real and the way forward.

Well made 👌 perfect for pt at home!!!

I have to agree.... it's like cement! It's exceptionally solid, durable, etc. But it is REALLY hard! I've tried it on carpet, on my sleep# bed, on tile. I've folded a throw blanket double & laid on top of it. It is crazy hard. And I'm very thick skinned. I was using one at PT that seemed more similar to styrofoam you'd find in craft stores, but no local chain stores had any bolsters could saw in half. After using this thing the 1st time I felt like I'd had an excruciating deep tissue massage for 3 days afterwards! I'm still using it with blankets folded on top, but man. I could probably bat a few balls in the yard with it :)

This product is not a FOAM roller. It is made of compressed and moulded polystyrene beads. As such it is extremely hard and inflexible. It is unsuitable for Pilates use.

Fue para un regalo y acerté

very robust and works well

En lo personal me parece bastante útil, su tamaño me ha permitido usarlo en varias partes del cuerpo, es bastante rígido y el material es muy resistente. Excelente atención a clientes!
