Of all the fitness accessory tools introduced over the last 20 years the foam roller is one of the most effective, inexpensive and versatile pieces or equipment. Foam rollers are used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts as a balance trainer, therapeutic massage roller, pilates core training and stabilization and for back care & massage. Chiropractors, physical therapists and athletic trainers use foam roller therapy for treatments and conditioning. The foam roll is an excellent aid for self massage of the upper and lower back, hip, ab & adductors, plus calf, hamstring, glute and quad muscles. The roller is especially popular and useful for IT (iliotibial) band syndrome. The secret to the foam rollers success is this: The user controls the amount of pressure at the point of massage by adjusting the amount of force (body weight) applied and the force is high enough to relieve the muscular tension.
Since full round foam rollers offer a significant balance challenge, we recommend foam roller balance training within a professionally supervised training session.
