Mr. Amit: this is a quality roller which is brilliantly designed.. personally i would characterize this as an intermediate/advanced level of roller since it does require some know-how and experience to use for your body type beyond what you read in the provided guide. i also love that it has a hole/void in its design whereby it can be fitted onto a thin pole for use as a sort of manual roller or tiger tail

my only gripes about it have to do with the size and weight, which were both quite a bit higher than i anticipated and thus not incredibly ideal for travel in my carry-on luggage (measures out at ~13.25oz/0.83lb in weight and ~12.25" in length).

i get that a roller this size at just shy of a full pound is not exactly super hefty, but when it comes to minimalist traveling as my partner and i tend to do, every ounce counts

Ryan KettererRyan Ketterer: The quality seems good, I like the size of the roller as well as the contour to accommodate the spine (though this could be slightly narrower). The main complaint that I have is that the grooves (deep with sharp edges) leave significant marks on my back when I use this (wearing a shirt). It's like getting a bunch of oddly shaped hickeys on my back. I guess I'll be using it only while wearing a sweater or something. Seems like a poor design choice.

Ana D: Excelente. Lo he probado varías veces y es mucho más preciso que cualquier otro rodillo de espuma tradicional. Yo lo uso para la parte alta de la espalda, el cuello, los cuádriceps y la zona lumbar. De verdad, merece cada euro. Tengo ya varios productos de la casa RAD y no puedo estar más contenta

Maya M.: I love RAD tools, but I especially love the Helix. A recent addition to my rehab toolkit, the Helix is perfect for getting into tight spots that a traditional foam roller may not flush as effectively.

Perfect for at home use, but as a frequent traveller I look forward to travelling with it as well!

Darko: I am glad that I followed my chiropractor's advice and I ordered one of these for my upper back pain. Because of the gap in the center, the RAD roller offers more direct pressure along your spine without actually pressing down on your spine. Basically, it reaches your pressure points better than a foam roller.

I have had upper back pain in between my shoulders for 2 years now and this is the only thing that has helped me relieve my own pain at home. It's definitely not meant for people who haven't foam rolled before. It can be very painful for some people, but for me it's the exact type of relief that I am looking for.

It's great for the upper back in between your shoulder blades. It also provides relief on my lower back right above the hips. I am usually not as aggressive with it as I am with a foam roller. The RAD roller is made of hard rubber. I slowly creep over my pain spots and I even just hang out on it while I relax my neck and hands.

I recommend this to everyone. I can't speak on how it works with the rod, but this one does not come with it.
