Rumble Roller

"Physical therapists, trainers, and athletes use foam rollers to relieve muscular pain and tightness (often called "adhesions", "knots", or "trigger points"). But conventional foam rollers have smooth, hard surfaces that further compress soft tissue. Rolling on top of them improves blood flow and tissue flexibility, but the effect is limited and relatively superficial, unless you spend a lot of time rolling.

The RumbleRoller was created to perform this therapy more effectively."

Looks like it would be worth a try

Anybody bought or used one of these?

Hi There

Not quite the same, but I have one of the "GRID" foam rollers and find it quite good. I would normally use the normal roller first and then move on to the GRID for the more problematic areas.

See http://www.irishfit.eu/foamroller.html about half way down the page.

much the same product and just next step up on a foam roller but the quadballer from TP therapy is the business if you can handle the pain

The RumbleRoller is more aggressive than the Grid, and I believe it's a lot more effective for myofascial release. Here's another discussion thread about it:

A cheap method.. a small cut of pipe! It's quite hard but once you get used to it, it has great benefits. Haven't used it myself yet, but some of the Ulster rugby squad use it.

Economic.

Pipe is ecconomical, but it can cause additional soft tissue damage, especially if you roll too close to the bone and muscle attachments. You want to get into those areas, though, because that's where adhesions tend to accumulate. A good quality foam roller is your best treatment option, and well worth the additional cost.

I think I don't know how to foam roll properly, as Its never really sore for me.
I'm using the dense bull foam ones btw, 6"

might be too soft and need a newer one - all the ones mentioned will not get soft over time

in general many people just need to foam roll and stretch wayy more
