I like the footballer that is on the www.tptherapy.com website. I have the grid and the rumble roller as well.
I find the curved roller gets into the muscles better then anything else. Best purchase ever, expensive but totally worth it. My right hip and IT band was very sore for 2 years and after using the runners kit 90% of my pain was gone. I couldnt even sit cross legged before using the footballer. I find the rumble works well but leaves bruises and is more painful. The grid is ok but i dont find the different ridges makes that much difference to me. I like the travel roller a lot because you can get 3 massage balls inside it and it is foam covered. Www.travelroller.com Jenn r |

Thanks for the feedback. I will check out the footballer, too. Besides quads, I have exactly the same issues with IT bands and hips as you did. It's good to know you finally find some relief. I can tell a difference ever since I started using foam rollers. There's still some residual pain, and the pain site is deep that my regular foam roller won't reach at this point. Quote:
I have read reviews that some people get bruised using extra firm rumble roller. I am just not sure if extra firm in this case means the rumble roller won't get compressed easily like molded smooth surface foam roller, or it simply means the knobs will dig really deep into the muscles. Thanks! |

I have the Grid and agree with the others--I can't tell much of a difference between the surfaces. I like it because it's lighter and easier to carry than "regular" foam rollers, and it's a bit firmer. I'm not sure it's a significant enough difference to be worth buying one if you already have a foam one (except it's easier to pack for travel, because you can stuff clothes in it).

I received the rumble roller today and let me tell you that baby is painful. It's a delicious pain (if that's possible ) but it goes deeper than the regular foam roller. I bought the blue one because I thought the black one (extra firm) would be too much and I was right.

Thank you for your feedback! I know what you mean about the delicious pain! I am leaning towards the blue one as well. Based on your first impression, is the blue one pretty solidly constructed, meaning not going to be easily compressed in a short time frame? Are the knobs themselves solid as well and won't be broken off easily? So far based on my research, it seems like the best place to get the rumble roller is through Amazon. Thanks again & sorry for all the questions! |
