i have yet to actually try doing Sue's moves using the regular roller to see whether all moves are compatible with it.

MELTing should be painless. If you're aiming for some other sort of body work, give it a try? Oh, and IIRC, I think I remember her saying definitely not to do the spinal MELT work with a hard roller.

Hi I have both a hard roller and a soft squishy melt roller, and I love them both.
The soft one is great for more tender spots like IT band on the side leg, or when I haven't rolled a particular muscle in a while to get the muscle used to rolling again. I use them both all the time. Sorry I can't help you with the brand you are asking about. I have the hard roller from Perform Better, and the soft squishy one is the Melt roller. So my vote is YES, you do need a soft/squishy style roller |

i have 2 heavy-duty cylindrical yoga bolsters. i can't remember the other brand, but one of them is Hugger Mugger. i'm going to see how far i get with all 3 tools. i noticed that Sue's most recent Melt Method book (2019, red), she uses 2 rollers. i haven't read that one yet, but i requested it.
