Roger Marlowe: This roller, for me, has saved many a trip to the chiropractor and is one of the most important health tools in my arsenal, among everything else; diet, supplements, minimal shoes, sports watch and daily exercise.
I live in Mexico and travel often. This roller goes everywhere I go.

Ivan: Really good foam roller! It provides deep massage, and at the same time is soft and not that aggressive to cause pain.
Highly recommend it

Ordinary citizen: I have lower back pain, related to arthritis and sitting in a chair working at the computer all day. I saw this roller, and thought it might be useful, though was a little skeptical since these things often don't actually work. I've had it for a month now, and it does help my back. I use it twice a day for a few minutes each time, rolling on it up and down my lower back, putting as much weight from my back on it as I can. It doesn't entirely remove the stiffness and pain, but probably reduces it about 50%. If I used it more, it might do more.

One downside is the instructions are limited so you have to play around with it to figure out how to use it with your own particular problem. That takes some time.

It does seem durable and hasn't noticeably degrade from having my weight on it over the month. I definitely would buy it again.

And I was not paid by the company to review the product, I paid full price for the product.

On Track: I use this roller for my back. It accommodates the spine nicely, having no ridges in the center. On the floor, I roll from my low back to the top of my shoulders. Carefully but with full weight, feet on the carpet, using my legs to push my body up and back with the roller traveling from lower to upper back and returning. I keep my spine in the center of the roller. I gives me a very nice back massage. With full weight overtop this roller, it gives a pretty deep massage. So I'm careful to start with speedier passes for a gentler intro. Then I transition to slower passes that go deeper. If I'm careful, it seems healthful. If haphazard, it has made me sore.

UPDATE: after using this around a year, I've gotten used to it and grown to like it more and more. The "Y" shaped ridges really work on your back, they knead the muscles well. The design keeps ridges away from the spine, unlike many other roller designs. I upgraded my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. It is the best roller I've found for my back.

Consumer Joe: That is the decision you need to make before purchasing a foam roller. This one is unique in it has the Y ridges that make it perfect (only?) choice for someone looking to make fewer visits to chiro, even masseuse. All the others that I've seen are to help with stretching and sore muscles whereas the Y-Roller is all about getting after those knots and pinches, as well as minor spinal alignment/adjustments.

A couple of recommends:

1) think of the Y roller like a set of tracks--remember the Autopia ride at Disneyland!? if you get those tracks right under your scapula, you can roll back and forward directing your movement so that you follow one track or another getting after your trouble spots from all directions without having to reposition the roller.

2) when you're after re-alignment of the upper spine and you have the single-track right up against one side of your spine, roll back and forward several times while changing where you put your arms--try "hugging yourself, extending your arms out behind you, in front and to the side until you find the position that works best for you and what your after.

3) the high density foam spines on this roller are...
