Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

This is a great alternative to the traditional foam core design which tends to break down in firmness after a couple of months of daily use.

The various shaped groove design offers different stimulation to muscles, particulary effective for trigger point therapy and daily muscle maintenance before and after workout.

The hollow opening is a circular shaped hard plastic material covered with the firm grooved shapes, a feature which contrasts the solid foam core of traditional rollers which eventually break down with use.

Lots of fun to use but could benefit by being longer; sometimes one finds herself rolling off the edges of the tube which is shorter than the traditional foam core. Although this may add comic relief to one's routine, it presents a challenge to the consumer.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I didn't understand the appeal of foam rolling until I tried it. This is INCREDIBLE on your muscles. It addresses soft tissue damage and soreness in a way stretching cannot. I didn't realize how tight some of my muscles were until I rolled them out on this. It is better than a deep tissue massage in my opinion. I use this at least once a day. It can be painful (like on the ITBand) but that indicates you NEED this and the pain does subside after some use. It is more relaxing on other muscles. Great for all runners. Use after runs to speed up recovery AND prevent injury. This is also good around the joints. I wish this particular foam roller were a little longer but I am still pleased with it, and can roll on both quads at the same time so it is not "too" small to get the job done. I also wish it came with an instructional DVD BUT there are plenty of online resources with videos. This foam roller is much better than the ones my gym carries (which are like larger/denser pool noodles). This is a much better quality that will last forever. As for the grooves, I really can't tell a difference from the smooth foam rollers but they are a nice addition. It seems a 2.0 version is coming out that is longer. It is a bit more costly. I would still purchase this one all over again. It is of great quality and JUST long enough. Will travel well. Get one...you'll be glad you did!

I am a dancer who runs for cardio and endurance training. We have these types of things in our gyrokenisis room to help us to roll out sore or tight muscles but this particular item is much sturdier than the ones I have had access too in the past. I absolutely LOVE IT and use it everyday!

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I use this product for very tight IT bands. It has multiple densities which is supposed to help control how much "give" the roller has. As a whole it's a great device. I don't notice a significant difference compared to a regular foam roller. I worry about how long it will last as the plastic frame the foam is on does bend/flex under the portion of my 175 lb weight I put on the device.

Great for before and after workouts

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I love my Grid. I bought it when I first started suffering from Piriformis Syndrome. It can be very painful and uncomfortable, so when I am working out on a regular basis it tightens up quickly. The workout to help relieve it, is sooo painful when you are doing it, but it really works that muscle out and so for the short term "uncomfortable" feeling I get on the Grid, the longterm benefit I receive from stretching out the muscle has saved me more pain in the long run. It could be a bit longer, I find myself falling off it sometimes if I'm not paying attention. But overall I think this is one of the best foam rollers on the market.

A must have for runners. Great to travel with. Fits nicely in my carryon and you and stuff things inside the roller.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I needed to eliviate pain from my IT band muscles and found that rolling before and after my long runs conditioned my muscles and I had no further pain or problems!
Plus it feels good on all the other parts; back, gluts, calves...

I use this daily and after each workout and I can't tell you how much it has helped with my muscle recovery. I use it in conjunction with the stick massager and instantly feel so much better!
Enjoy!

I try and use it after I run but it is not as easy to use as a foam roller.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I absolutely love this foam roller. I use it for foam rolling after every run or bike ride or just anytime my legs feel tight or sore. It does a remarkable job and I love its smaller size so it's easy to travel with to the gym in my bag. Its also firm enough to get the job done. A great product and I recommend it to all fitness enthusiasts.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I use it regularly and am happy it won't deteriorate like a standard foam roller. However, it needs to be 3-6" longer for more convenient usage,especially by larger folks.

I have tight shoulders and occasionally my piriformis acts up. This roller helps knead those areas and I feel immediate relief.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

this holds its firmness much longer than the standard foam rollers. it can be very hard if your muscles/IT bands are stiff but that motivates to really improve your stretching. i'm really enjoying mine. i don't really notice the nubs and ridges that much.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

Love it. Very firm however so maybe not for those new to rolling.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

I love this thing! It is nice and firm. I like the different grid patterns and the fact it does not break down like most foam rollers.

Comments about Trigger Point The Grid Injury Recovery:

This company makes great massage items, the Grid is one of many. I like the knobs that other rollers don't have, and this is very firm.
