3 Foot Foam Roller

Foam Roller: THE essential self care tool.

Choosing the right density is so important. You want a density firm enough to change the tissues, gentle enough that your body doesn’t tighten in response.  Using a roller should “hurt good”.

  • Softie: if you are slender, a bit fragile, and/or dislike deep massage

  • Medium: more firm pressure than softie, but not too hard. Goldilocks!

  • Medium Hard: a bit firmer, definitely with some give but more forgiving than hard

  • Hard: if you enjoy very deep tissue and intense massage

Soft Plastic Ball Set

Two ball set combines some of the therapy features of a medium density foam roller with the versatility and portability of a ball.

Buy Franklin Balls (pictured) or Miracle Balls. Either works.

Double Tennis Balls

Make your own therapy tool with two tennis balls and some tape. See the video above for instructions. While you’re at it, wrap two pair for useful techniques and travel. If you don’t want to do it yourself, visit in person and you can purchase a mesh bag that holds the tennis balls together.
