Does anyone know where to get one of these for a good cheap price?
I went into a physio supply store and they cost 35euro which is crazy money.

4" wavin pipe is way better and free from any building site...

don't get the long one get the short 2foot one and its half the price

Please get a 6inch one though as the 3inch ones are rubbish

www.macsports.ie do very reasonable foam rollers - i recently (stupidly) paid €45 for one, then found they supply 6" 4ft for €22! they do 4" ones, and the half rollers too. I got their catalogue which showed a few brands that they supply, their website only shows Reebok ones, but the catalogue ones seem better!

There's a shop in Ringsend that sells them over the counter. I can't remember its name. Maybe someone knows it?

First time checking this thread.
I was serious about the wavin pipe. I use it all the time for Self Myofascial Release and it beat foam rollers hands down in every possible way. Seriously!

1. half roller

2. foam roller

3. long foam roller

4. blue foam roller

5. round roller

Thanks in advance

Tennis ball might be a better idea.

Thanks d'Oracle & Transform
Just watched the vid there (my 3 yr old thought your were on the other side of the webcam & she was waving away at you

). My problem area is the calf muscle of the inside of my leg, I imagine it would awkward to get at with the roller one.....maybe I'm wrong? Would this one be better?

i have used both and to be honest find the quadballer works better- well that and once a month a good ART massage
