Gaiam Foam Rollers for Restoring Muscle Massage Therapy

CuriousNarf: I had a few rollers that felt like my back was going to break in half. This one feels so much better. Don't know how to explain it, but it does the job without the pain of some other rollers. Lightweight, not so big. Happy with it.

A. Franciscus: I've been struggling with back pain for some time now and decided to explore some tools to get relief myself and I read a lot of mixed reviews, some saying that this was too firm or poorly constructed, but this is perfect for my needs.

I will say that there is a noticeable line where two halves of the cylinder meet, not sure why they mold them that way but it does not appear to affect the utility and you can't feel it either when using it.

This roller is what I'd call medium firm. It's not super soft where you'll sink right through it nor is it so hard that it has no give. It's dense enough that if you press hard enough you can indent it with your thumb/finger but not much.

I have followed some basic "roll out" recovery videos to learn the basic moves but generally just explored what felt best for my body. I use this regularly to crack my back after evening yoga, just lay down with the roller about shoulder/shoulder blade height with your hands laced behind your head and just exhale and roll up and it releases so much tension.

I think this has just the right amount of firmness and texture for the price. Not too overwhelming for a beginner either. Would...

Amazon Customer: I have chronic pain and was looking for a less firm roll, but not so soft that it won't last or work. This has held up nicely after several months of use and just the right density for someone looking for one that offers a little give.

S Kim: Bought this for hubby to replace his old foam roller. It’s working well for our space and his back.

Stacy: Foam rolling hurts. It just does. But it is super helpful to relieve muscle pain and tightness, and for that, I am grateful to this roller. It arrived in perfect condition! It’s a nice medium density, the patterned grooves make for great traction and stimulation, and overall it is simple and pretty.

Ed Blackadder: This has been an excellent purchase. Helping to stretch out tired limbs and back. Balance and posture is improving by following the prescribed exercises.

JackieJackie: Has a slight softness to it (meaning not rock hard like most of them). Well made foam roller. Like it.

Alicia GulbransenAlicia Gulbransen: I really like the size of this foam roller - easy enough to pack up to bring to the gym, but big enough to be able to use (not one of the compact squishy ones). Had a medium firmness which is perfect in my opinion, and the ridges provide enough pressure but not too aggressive like other foam rollers. Will see how the durability is/how long it lasts, but so far I’m really happy with this purchase!
