What is a foam roller?

A foam roller is a cylindrical, lightweight, recovery and mobility tool that is designed for self-myofascial release or to relieve muscle soreness, tension and tightness. It has a textured surface (grids or bumps) to target deep muscles and provide more intense and trigger-point massage.

What are foam rollers used for?

Foam rollers are are commonly used to self-massage, reduce muscle soreness, improve blood flow and provide support for recovery after an intense workout. These rollers are also used to help relax muscles during warm-ups to improve flexibility, reduce stiffness and increase mobility.

What size of foam roller should I choose?

There are multiple types of foam rollers available at Northern Gym Equipment, including a 45 cm foam roller, a 90 cm foam roller and a half foam roller. If you are performing targeted workouts and want a travel-friendly foam roller, choose the 45 cm foam roller or the half-foam roller. But for full-body use, buy a 95cm foam roller that is best for your back and posture.

What is the difference between a full and half foam roller?

Use a full-size foam roller to move freely, and it is best for deep tissue work and rolling out tight muscles to help you stay mobile and relaxed. A half-foam roller has a flat side that keeps it steady on the floor, offering you more stability during your balance exercises and controlled movements.

How often should I use a foam roller?

You can use a foam roller every single day to keep your body feeling its best and reduce your muscle soreness. It's very effective if you consistently do it after your workout sessions or on recovery days to help keep your muscles loose and reduce that post-workout stiffness.
