Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Foam Roller 6 X 35 Injury Recovery:

I got this foam roller in early May after developing IT Band Syndrome while training for a 20k race in June. I have had this injury before and was resigned to rest for several weeks. I was ready to write off this race until I started using the foam roller religiously while I took a little over a week off training. I eased back into running while really working the injured area before and after each run. With two weeks until the race, I had completed a 10 mile training run with no pain.

Of course, this is only my experience. Your mileage may vary. I now use it for all my muscular aches and pains.

Works those knots right out of all the right places. Legs and back feel great after. Didn't think some thing like this could make you feel so much better. I usually use it twice a day.

hurts like crazy in the beginning but once finished, feels awesome. use it daily at night. great for sore muscles and muscle tightness. A must for anyone looking to recover after workouts

This roller is on the hard side which is good. Not much give (virtually none) so it really helps with the kinks and tightness. If it hurts, it is because you are tight and need to roll it out. Many uses for all body parts. I use it mostly for shoulders and back but can also be used for legs, glutes, hips, etc.

After running 3 half marathons in less than a year, I found myself with a back injury, then a knee injury, then another knee injury. Frustrated and not looking to rest, I researched the foam roller to release some of my overly tight muscles. I love this!!! My back and my IT band were SO tight that it was uncomfortable at first. However, I prevailed (knowing that the pain was an "okay" pain) and am feeling much, much better. I will continue to use this daily, as I train for my first full marathon.

I had never heard of using a foam roller, until I got injured last year. This has been a great addition to my training routine. It helps my muscles recover really fast!

I just bought the roller today. I didn't have any particular injury but i want to prevent it before it happens. I had normal aches after a long run yesterday and It feels great. I hope with long term use i will be able to remain (close to) injury free.

I have used this roller to help ease some sore muscles in my back and legs. It feels very good after I'm done and my muscles feel almost as good as if I had had a sports massage.

I am a master's middle distance runner who has been struggling with injuries for the past 3 years. I was instructed to incorporate the daily use of a foam roller for my recovery and for prevention of injuries in the future. After just 2 weeks, I am back on the road/track running more comfortably. I plan to make use of the roller in my daily routine. The benefits apply to all runner's recreational or competitive for prevention or treatment of injuries. Most notably, for the iliotibial band.
I am more than pleased with the perfomance of this foam roller and in particular with the density(firmness).
