The Grid Foam Roller

$25 - $50 from Amazon >

Who wants to apply some myofascial compression techniques to their tight, overwrought muscles? Second only to the hands of a 6' Swedish co-ed who's been milking cows since birth, the TriggerPoint GRID foam roller penetrates and plows over knots and kinks to provide muscular relief and improve mobility. Potential benefits of regular foam rolling include: decreased muscle and joint pain; increased circulation and flexibility; improved range-of-motion; better balance; and improved gait. The TriggerPoint GRID, unlike smooth-surfaced spongy or Styrofoam-y rollers, was designed to maintain its shape over time. Repeated, daily use should not compromise its integrity thanks to a construction consisting of a rigid, hollow plastic core covered in dense EVA foam.
