Using rollers and small hard balls can be beneficial to helping you break up tight muscles and increase blood flow throughout your body. This doesn't replace regular flexibility work but used in conjunction can make a world of difference on post exercise activities and your ability to sustain your fitness levels longer.
There are a variety of rollers on the market that have a # of shape and sizes. The most important thing should be:
- Comfort ( not to soft or too hard )
- Portability
- Price ( range $14.99 - $45.00 )
Try and position your body on the roller or ball so that the muscles you want to work on are placed in the proper position to get the maximum benefit.
Use the roller as often as possible. A few times a day or a few times a week. But definitely make an effort to use this therapeutic tool. It can help relieve:
- sore muscles
- ache muscles
- low back strain
- upper back strain
- tight hams
- tight quads
- tight calves
You can purchase 1 on Amazon or when your at the gym use the ones they have there. Hope this information helps you.
