Medium Firm Half Foam Rollers for Post-Workout Relaxation, 12/18/24/36 inch PE Foam Roll for Back Massage & Yoga Exercise

Purchased on the recommendation from my chiropractor. He has one in his office and I need one to use at home for my back. The surface is a little soft but it doesn’t seem that there is any give after the first 1/8 inch of the surface. I think it will work fine for me. For a young fitness buff it might not be what they want but for older, arthritic conditions, I think it will be fine . The fact that my chiropractor had the same thing in his office says a lot for me. I got the 18” because the ad stated 18” for back. I don’t think the 24” would be too long but the 18” appears adequate for my needs

This firm form is fantastic for daily exercise

Very sturdy foam. Great for balance & strength building!

I got it to stretch my spine out, so it does serve its purpose, but know that it is hard as rock. I would prefer a little give!

Great for a squiggly muscle & spine! Helps my back to my toes!!

I guess medium firm means FIRM. I have a black full sphere one that is REALLY firm (way too firm) and one bag one that’s so soft it is like just a pillow that collapses under my weight, and was hoping this would be in the middle, but it’s definitely on the firmer side. I think I got the 18 inch and wow is it small! Definitely too small to lay it vertically from my tail bone to my head which was my goal, but my fault for not thinking more about the size before ordering, I guess. Maybe if I put some pillows down for my head it might work. I will probably keep it for calf stretches and it works okay for laying horizontally across shoulders to stretch the upper spine. Meh, would have bought another but this is fine if the size works for you and you’re going for pretty firm with very little give.

Great length for back exercises. I use it to do back and shoulder loosening exercises, and it is just long enough to support my hips and my head. It’s firm without being too rigid/painful. My PT also uses this same type in her office.

Excellent for balance practice. The foam compresses just a little bit to make balance exercises challenging but possible.

I work long hours on my feet and often deal with sore, fatigued feet and ankles. My Pilates teacher recommended this half foam roller as a way to gently massage my feet by standing on the rounded side, and to strengthen my ankles by standing on the flat side, which really challenges balance and ankle control. I’ll even stand on it while doing the dishes, and it does wonders for stretching out my feet and gently decompressing the fascia—effective without being too intense. There are so many ways to use this roller, but I’ve found it especially helpful after long days on my feet. If foot and ankle relief is what you’re after, this little tool is absolutely worth it.

商品説明の硬さ比較では、他の素材と比較して柔らかいとの説明がありますが、思ったより硬く想定した使い方には不向きでした。

Lo venden como un rollo suave y es totalmente duro

As expected, very good.

This foam roller is not soft density foam as indicated but rather very hard, cheap package grade foam!! Very disappointed especially given the price!
