Foam Rollers

Foam rollers are a brilliant exercise product that can help to soothe tight and sore muscles after a workout as well as relaxing you if your muscles have tension. Foam rollers are also useful in increasing flexibility and helping muscles to recover quickly. There are many different types of foam rollers, so it is important that you find the right one to suit your needs.

Rollers can come in different lengths and can be either smoothed or gnarled with geometric patterns. The patterns spread the pressure over various points, unlike smoothed rollers where the pressure is much more focused. A few manufacturers produce spherical rollers, for rolling deep into joints or to focus on any particularly troublesome muscles.

Brands of Foam Roller

TriggerPoint is a popular brand of foam roller and is considered a leader in innovation. Their foam rollers are specially designed to optimise muscle performance. TriggerPoint provides solid foam rollers which are designed to be used all over the body whereas the hollow and firmer rollers are designed to get to the deeper muscle tissue.

Typically, TriggerPoint uses a grid pattern on their foam rollers which is designed to be akin to the touch of a therapist's hand. The pattern aims to relieve discomfort and improve the oxygen and blood flow throughout the body.

ProFitness is another famous brand that offers foam rollers, including their innovative three-in-one foam roller system. The design enables it to be used as a massage roller, a yoga roller and a massage bat as each element is stored within the hollow foam roller.

The three-in-one roller also has a handle which means it is easy to carry to the gym or yoga studio. With its durability and density, the ProFitness roller is designed to help knotted muscles by repeatedly rolling over the affected area.
