What’s a foam roller?

A foam roller is a simple tool for myofascial release or relieving tight muscles and tensions all over the body. It’s also used to find trigger points all over the body and enhance the recovery of the muscles.

A foam roller is made of synthetic compressed foam used for massaging the muscles and easing tensions inside them. It comes in different sizes, shapes, and textures.

Types of Foam Rollers

• Smooth rollers
• Textured or bumpy rollers
• Rumble foam rollers
• Foam massage sticks

Smooth Rollers

Smooth foam rollers are the best for your customers that are new to foam rolling. They don’t apply too much pressure because they almost don’t have texture in them.

Foam rollers of this kind are inexpensive but are effective in releasing most tensions in the body.

Textured or Bumpy Rollers

Textured foam rollers are mostly made of EVA foam and have grooves and ridges on them. They are quite good at targeting trigger points and knots in the body. That’s why they are otherwise known as trigger point foam rollers.

The bumpy rollers can provide your customers a consistent pressure to hard-to-reach areas of their bodies.

Rumble Foam Rollers

Rumble rollers have quite the intensity because of their firm and bumpy knobs that dig into the skin. They can mimic the hands of a masseuse when used properly.

These foam rollers can get into your deepest muscle pains and knots and release the tensions. Rumble rollers come in extra-firm and medium density hardness depending on your customer’s endurance.

Foam Massage Sticks

Foam massage sticks are the most portable foam rollers of all. They can be used for soft and deep massages.

These foam-covered massage sticks are usually applied for upper back and leg massages. They are perfect for your consumers that do an unending aerobics class or resistance training aimed at muscle failure.

Do foam rollers have different densities?

Yes, foam rollers are available in low, medium, and high densities. The higher the density, the firmer the foam roller is.

Low-Density Foam Rollers

Low-density foam rollers are the lightest and more suitable for your novice foam roller gym-goers. They will not give too much pressure but can release tensions in the muscles effectively.

Medium Density Foam Rollers

For your customers that have outgrown the low-density foams but don’t want to put too much pressure on their body, you can recommend the medium-density ones.

They still get the effect of low-density foam rollers but can seep more into the tissues of their muscles.

High-Density Foam Rollers

The firmest of all-foam rollers, high-density rollers will give intense massages to your customers.
