Hi folks! Nice that you came by.
I was thinking today, as I rolled a tight calf muscle, “If I could only afford one roller, which one would I buy?”
I really like my TriggerPoint Performance roller; so much, in fact, that I am an affiliate marketer of their products. I think, however, that my favorite when it comes to all round usefulness is my OPTP Black AXIS Firm Foam Roller (Willbe, our yellow lab., is sometimes scared of this roller, how odd!). If you combine this roller with manual manipulation, for myofascial massage, it is possible to do much of the work you’ll need to keep you moving safely.
Daily myofascial lengthening, softening and strengthening work is critical, if you want to avoid injuries, by the way.
Furthermore, this big roller can be used for balance work, core training, and a wide range of other exercise and toning activities. Just see our body awareness video series for further guidance.
Happy Trails,
FitOldDog
