I haven't tried it yet, but my physical therapist has used a similar one with good results I like that there's a video included.

High Quality, Very Versatile
Roller is the perfect size, great for back work, rolling sore muscles, or just elevating knees to relax legs. Long enough for effective workouts, small enough to store. Great for small rooms and apartments.

Very Firm
I've only used it a couple times, but it does seem to help. I mostly bought it for tight illeo-tibeal bands.

Utterly Worthless--except Maybe In The Pool
I bought this, thinking that it would be less brutal to my aching back than the harder, less-forgiving rollers at the gym. Big mistake! This "roller" doesn't roll! It just lies there, under my shoulder blades, and does nothing. The problem is that it's "squishy". It isn't firm (i.e., doesn't keep its shape) and so (because it's not round) doesn't roll. I'm sorry that I bought it and sorrier still that I discarded the receipt...I could have gotten a refund.

Everyone Should Have One!
After many years of nearly daily use, my first roller was worn out. Loving my new one. Great for working out stiff or sore muscles.

Simple Product With Great Results.
I bought this item last week and have only used it 4 times. Every time I've used it on my back, it has cracked at least once. The first time I rolled across the floor on it I got about 4 pops and cracks - this will save me expensive weekly trips to the chiropractor for sure.

Feels Great & Helps With Tight Hips And Sciatica
I looked online for some suggestions as to how to manage sciatic pain and saw this phone roller. I bought it about 2 wks ago and my physical therapist and chiropractor are thrilled that I have it to use at home. It feels incredible and I can tell it's doing my hip joint and surrounding muscles a lot of good.

Too Short!
I was so excited to try this out of the box unfortunately it did not work out so good. The dvd that came with it uses a 36" roller for the exercises.Why is that? It's not possible to get your arms behind on the 18" roller as it was done on the video. Also by the end of the workout my roller did not roll anymore. It started to flatten itself.

Product Is Good, But Too Short For Me
Never having used a foam roller, I was looking forward to seeing if it would help relieve my chronic muscle pain. The roller was sturdy and helped relieve some of the knots, but unfortunately was too short. I recommend that if you want to follow along with all of the stretches in the DVD, purchasing the 36" roller instead.

Flattened By Single Use
I bought this foam roller to stretch my it band. I was disappointed to find after a single use it's starting to flatten and no longer round. Don't think it's going to last long

Great Product
I love this roller, I try to use it daily. I have used the DVD that is enclosed in the product, to find out how to use the roller and I feel it has really helped. I no longer ache from exercise as much, it really does work!!

Great Product, But 36" Size Would Be Better
This roller is great for stretching and for massaging tight muscles. The firmness is just right, and I love the green color! However, I wish I had purchased the larger 36" roller, which is the one shown in the DVD. There are some stretches that aren't quite possible with the 18" length. The DVD is excellent, and I'd like to be able to do all the exercises it shows. So, I advise everyone to think carefully about which size roller is best for their purposes.

Great Foam Roller
this roller is really firm! i think it is going to stand up to a lot of use! plus, my daughters love the green color! much better than plain white which gets really dirty after using it.
