Foam Rollers Review: Differences Between Foam Rollers

[@haruejules]

Thanks for an honest and detailed review! I was pondering between the Trigger Point and a cheaper model, so this was perfect!!!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Jules, You're most welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@MdAslam-pj2jo]

I liked your detail and helpful review . Hope it will help me in purchasing one for my nasty muscle knots under the scapula. I have been suffering from this pain for over three months now . Thanks for sharing your video . God bless you!

[@bellat4076]

I'm so happy I watched your video until the end, cause I wanted something for my hamstrings and your recommendation on massage ball answered my question. Thank you.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Bella, You're most welcome. Good things come to those who wait :D. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@lp060671]

Thank you - exactly what I was looking for. Bought a roller and wasn't sure whether it was the right one for me. You explained exactly what it does & thankfully I bought the right type!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Thank you for your clear explanations! I have a firm, spiky massage ball that I like and I want a foam roller too. I had no idea what kind but now I know what I should look for! Seems like I can rule out most of them as being too soft

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are so welcome! Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@badukwarrior1]

Great overview , just what I was looking for.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

+Q Q I’m glad you found it helpful and I hope you get a roller that you’re happy with. Regards, Ashley

[@fomomoto3]

Excellent review, I too have used most of the rollers covered and confirm and agree with your results. For serious deep tissue work the rumbleroller is the way to go. Supplementing it with various sizes of smaller massage balls fill in its few gaps as you pointed out. Well done sir.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you formomoto3 for you comment. I do like the Rumble Roller too! Best wishes, Ashley

[@Fahad-369]

Wait... Does that mean that flexibility doesn't increase except the rumble rollers ones?

[@a.maok.]

Very clear and just what I was looking for to learn more about foam rollers. Thank you!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

I'm glad you found the video insightful Annie. Thank you so much and I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@trutela9210]

I bought The Grid about 6 years ago. Still like a new. No signs of wearing. I am using it about 5 times a week. One of the best buy I ever made with fitness equipment. I am now looking for The Grid X, cause I do not feel the massage so deep anymore with The Grid, I got used to it.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Tru, they are well made for sure. Have you ever tried a Rumble Roller? You might find they get deeper than a Grid X.

[@louisefishler5068]

Nice overview. Love to hear your thoughts on trigger point therapy.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thanks Louise. Do you mean the trigger point therapy rollers? Or the actual therapy? If you mean the therapy I haven't really seen much of it so I can't give an opinion but in principle I think it's good and I use some trigger point techniques in my treatments. As long as it works for the patient then it's a good thing! Best wishes, Ashley.

[@JenniferMAnh]

Thanks for the reviewing. I have very tight muscle all over the body. Can you do video how to use both of them? Many thanks

[@ddcr8iv1]

Excellent overview. Thank you for your non biased opinions and suggestions. This was very helpful for my extended stretching and muscle care, before and after workouts. Cheers

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome Daniel! I'm glad you found the video insightful. All the best with your roller. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@gilliansimmons9415]

Great review, gives a good overview of whats out there for novices like me. Thanks.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

+Gillian Simmons thanks Gillian. As a novice it's always best to keep things simple. I hope you find one you like. Ashley

[@RosaGomez-mw3lj]

Thank you for your overview recommendations. You’ve helped me make a decision to purchase the one that is best for me.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're welcome. That's great to hear! Let me know how you get on. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@777MaxRz]

I have an extremely tight back with a lot of knots which foam roller would you recommend for the upper back

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Personally I prefer using massage balls for the back, especially the lower back. I would say that you shouldn't use a foam roller on the lower back. The balls will be better. A foam roller is good for mobilising the spine and rolling the muscles either side of the spine. For this any roller will be fine, I'd just use the plastic insert roller for this. I hope that helps, Ashley.

[@Dan-iy8ig]

Really great video. Put your Amazon Link in for the United States so you can get paid on that from Amazon. Right now all I see are your UK links

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thanks for the comment DT. The US links have been added now. Thank you for your support and I hope you found the video helpful. Ashley

[@johnnybhoy9578]

I have a question, love foam rolling, helping greatly with my legs, but when I roll I find my self, sweating profusely, so is this normal. Done around 10 different rolling exercises for around , 3 min's per exercise

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Johnny given how long you do your rolling for I would say yes this is totally normal. Foam rolling is not always that easy. Keep it up! Best wishes, Ashley.

[@yaldaamini9603]

All i needed was this video. Thank you very much

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are most welcome Yalda! Really glad to hear you found the video useful. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@PaulNguyen]

Thank you for making this video. As a runner, I am looking into getting either the firm rumble roller or the gator. Which one do you think is best to work on IT band, hamstring and calf tightness, and soreness? Thank you for your time.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Paul you're welcome. Out of the two you mentioned I would recommend the Rumble Roller. However I would suggest you don't roll your ITB because it won't make much difference. Instead focus on the Tensor Fascia Latae and the Gluteus Maximus to loosen up the ITB. I also like using Lacrosse balls for the hamstrings rather than rollers. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@PaulNguyen]

Precision Wellbeing Group wow thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I’ll definitely do more rolling on my gluteus Maximus and TFL. Super helpful information to help me for my marathon training!

[@masseffect3922]

I've got a hollow plastic one with knobbly bits and flat sides. It hurts like hell on the side of my leg. Same as the pink one.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

They are great! Personally I don't recommend using a foam roller on the side of the thigh (on your ITB) because in my experience it doesn't make much of a difference except cause you a lot of pain. The ITB is basically just a big long thick tendon. You would be better using a massage ball into your hip muscles instead. Best wishes, Ashley

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Precision Wellbeing Group, thanks; I learned something today. Both about the roller and the massage ball. I was gonna buy a larger Triggerpoint (I have the 4” travel roller) but now I’ll get the Rumble Roller. And the ball, as advised to Pyramid Ceres

[@julie5668]

Where can I buy a leaflet with diagrams of foam rolling exercises? Great video - very well explained.

[@perlawassel6599]

excellent review, thank you for your recommendations!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you Perla. I hope it helped. Ashley

[@Panchkula007]

I just feel that hard foam rollers should not be used. I just feel that the main role of foam roller is to remove any knots and that can be done by a soft roller...maybe just use the one with few dots if you want just a bit more grip for the knots but that should be the maximum...these rugged foam rollers are quite hard on fascia i reckon.

[@ayubahmed3151]

I’m suffering shin splints so which one is fit for me ?

[@jaymyles763]

[@silvepereira9221]

Thank you for wonderful information

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome Silve! Have you tried form rolling before and what was your experience? Best wishes, Ashley.

[@ktng4]

can foam roller be used to train leg muscles to do splits?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Yes it can. It can help guide you in and out. That's not my area of expertise though. Good luck achieving the splits! Best wishes, Ashley.

[@thepamo2812]

Great video you've earned my sub and will purchase later today with your link, thanks!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you for that lovely comment. I really hope you found it helpful. If there's any topics you want to know more about please let me know. Ashley

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Do you have a video on the massage balls?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Daniel at the moment I dont have one but it's certainly a video I can do in the near future. Best wishes, Ashley

[@songsofthecentury3909]

Which roller for the lower back please?

[@zukzworld]

I am a runner and also travel a lot. I prefer those small rollers (like the adidas small one) for travelling, along with golf ball and cricket ball (both golf and cricket balls are cheaper alternative).

[@miz528aaaaaaa]

Thanks 4 this video very informative, looking to invest in a decent roller after blowing out my lower back after attempting 200kg on the deadlift. Do ryou recommend foam rolling for my injured lower back pls?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Sorry to hear about your back! We don't recommend rolling your lower back as this could potentially make your back worse. Instead stretching would be better, or find a practitioner near you who can help to relieve the tension in your lower back. Have a look at the treating chronic low back pain video that I did on this channel as there are some stretches you might find helpful. Good luck getting it better, Ashley.

[@miz528aaaaaaa]

Precision Wellbeing Group thanks will do.

[@thequiltedkitchen]

what do you think about the tougroll? the smooth one? my chiropractor told me to get one (foam)

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Quilted Kitchen. Sorry for the delayed reply! I have looked everywhere but I can't find the tougroll so I'm afraid I can't give you an opinion. However I'm sure if your chiropractor recommended it to you then there must be some worthwhile qualities to it. If you can post a link to what you're talking about I can have a proper look for you? Have a nice day, Ashley

[@krishna40281]

Which one would you recommend for lower back?

[@mohammedalmadi4649]

On another comment he recommended the balls for the lower back

[@JacobSpeed]

Have you heard of a rollga foam roller? There doesn't seem to be a lot of videos on them other than their own with 0 comments, which makes me sceptical.

[@debelae]

Explained perfectly 👍 cheers mate

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're absolutely welcome! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@benjaminstrunk1517]

Do you recommend getting the rumble roller or just a more basic one and why

[@dn-anonymous]

2:35 what length is that one?

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Good video, the US and some of the UK links need an update

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you! Glad you found the video helpful Craig. Its been some time since I bought them so its possible they ran out of stock. You could try searching using the name of the roller. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@esammohamad4432]

Thanks

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome! Best wishes, Ashley

[@lemonadeskater]

How does the pink one work? What’s the difference between the longer and smaller roll, vs the shorter and bigger diameter

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Melody, the pink one is very similar to the orange one I showed. The difference is the pink one is about $15 whereas the orange one is about $60. The thinner a roller is the more it will focus into a muscle and may be more painful. Sometimes it is easier to roll on the longer ones because you can fit the width of your body or legs on it. It all comes down to budget and preference. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@scottw550]

I often wear a foam roller along with 2 massage balls into the singles bars.

[@honour7495]

And that's why you're single

[@HuGYSPideR000]

Hello I have a question if u see this. I have been looking for a foam roller with big firm spikes atleast 1-2 inches long. I have one at my mma gym but I cant find it online anywhere.

Isn’t the ball a bit small for the back?

[@ylvachampion8801]

Great overview really clear - thanks Amy recommendations with Achilles tendinitis ? Many thanks

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Ylva, thank you! You will want to reduce tension through the Achilles tendon as much as you can. Stretching and foam rolling will both be useful. Also avoid any jumping, skipping and running as these will put a lot of tension through the tendon. I hope that helps, Ashley.

[@eldeisel-265]

Is Rumble roller good for back or dangerous?

[@adokjr611]

Gator green is the way to go as an upgrade from the perfect/namebrand/blue. Someone needs to post more exercises, shame really. Massage balls saved my hand after a massive bite. Perhaps it will rehab my legs from my half-marathon hiatus. Atrophy, joy.

You are most welcome. I hope that it was helpful. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@EPSTomcat11]

What's the ideal length to use?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

+EPSTomcat11 personally I find the long ones easier to roll both sides of the body at once (like rolling the thighs). But this also depends on your size; if you're small the short ones will do just fine but if you have a larger frame then a long one will be easier. Apart from that it's just personal preference. I hope that helps, Ashley

[@EPSTomcat11]

Precision Wellbeing Group Thanks. Also just realized that with the long ones you can use them parallel to your spine.

[@5tivi]

I thought so too in the first minute, I hate when people start to ramble but than I realized he was actually on point. It creates that idea because he keeps looking down like he forgot what to say and sounds like he's about to stutter but never does. It's just the way some people talk. I know because I can relate and I find it impossible to change it. For me it just needed a few seconds to understand his rhythm and it was all cool. Very helpful video.

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

Thank you for the great video! I've just tried foam rolling (with the cheap one) and holy cow it worked its way through my stiff calves! I also highly recommend using a massage ball roller for smaller, more sensitive muscles. I have the Decathlon Aptonia roller and it works great for my arms and shoulders. I'm thin so I really can't foam roll my back yet due to lack of muscle mass there. 😂
