CanDo Black Composite High-Density Foam Rollers for Muscle Restoration Massage Therapy Sport Recovery and Physical Therapy 6" x 12" Half-Round

Great for those who [like me] get the very satisfying snap-crackle-pop when bending/leaning backward over their chair at work... This thing is soooo much more effective. Total POPCORN-effect without the risk of bending too far and hurting something. And it get pops from SEVERAL places as you roll your spine down it. It unlocks things you didn’t know were locked, and you’re darn near ready to sleep before you can even get back up off the floor, it’s so relieving! Spin it and lay vertically to massage between your shoulder blades a little (only if you have the leg/butt strength to hold yourself up. It’s too short to support your head/neck, so be cautious...or buy one of the longer ones) GREAT PURCHASE! Worth every penny.

I bought a 36 in and 12 in roller. Best. Thing. Ever. My husband and I both use them. We typically roll our backs on the 36 because it is very spacious and supportive. You don't feel like you're going to fall off/have to balance like some other rollers/wheels. I also use it for complete spinal relaxation. It's quite long and I get support from my lower back all the way to the base of my head, even being quite tall and having a long torso (I'm a female, 5'10). I use the 12 in roller far more than my husband. I like to use it for scapular exercise, I use it as a spacer to keep my shoulders equal distance and locked tight. My physical therapist thought it was a great idea for my situation when I told him about it. I also use it when I do reverse crunches. I like to hold it between my feet to make them more challenging. These are good quality rollers and very durable. We use them more often than we expected and I am very pleased with them!

This was suggested to raise the effectiveness of heel rises in knee replacement therapy. My after surgery exercises include 30 reps of heel raises using both legs. By the time you get close to that number of reps you will be feeling the burn on the back of your legs. There may be other uses for it, but this has made this segment of my exercise routine far more effective.

This basic item gets the job done as far as stretching my calves. It's sufficient, but as others have mentioned, it is slippery and slides out of place easily. Too easily in my opinion. I may have to add a strip of something on the bottom to keep it from moving as much. Overall a good product!

good product

This half roll is like the one I use in the gym. It is great for doing eccentric calf raises, especially if you are recovering from an injury like a herniated L 5 disk. It also provides the best stretch for calves. My calves can feel fine if I stretch them without the half roll so I keep the roll tucked by my bathroom sink so that I can do a quick check to determine if my muscles are tighter than I think. I also stretch while I brush my teeth so that I dont forget and my calves stay nice and limber. With your heel on the floor and the ball of your foot on the roll, slowly lean forward and breathe...feels so good . I think it keeps calf cramps at bay as well...so a stretch before bed is a must. A great balance exercise is to walk across 2 or 3 rolls placed end to end...like a balance beam only safer. Place them next to a wall or hand rail to steady yourself as necessary. Stand tall, shoulders back, core engaged, chin up, eyes straight ahead and walk deliberately and slowly. Balance will improve within days of doing this exercise. I think everyone can benefit from both these simple exercises.

Very sturdy; excellent quality.

Many reviews stated how firm this roller was, but I can feel it dimple when I just press my feet onto it for calf-stretching. It is very effective to help with the stretches and was the cheapest option, but it is just super high density styrofoam, and if I were to put all my 230lbs on it at once it would probably get crushed. It is smaller than i thought also but I did not actually look at how large it was in the description. I am glad to have it, and it came quickly. It works as it should when I remember to use it.

This product is not a FOAM roller. It is made of compressed and moulded polystyrene beads. As such it is extremely hard and inflexible. It is unsuitable for Pilates use.

Fue para un regalo y acerté

very robust and works well

En lo personal me parece bastante útil, su tamaño me ha permitido usarlo en varias partes del cuerpo, es bastante rígido y el material es muy resistente. Excelente atención a clientes!
