Compact roller
Firm foam roller with slight “tread” creating pleasing pressure gradients during rolling.  Light weight and hollow, it is good for traveling.  This roller is more firm than the white or marbled rollers.  For additional information, click here.

White foam roller assortment
We use these rollers in the clinic.  They are relatively durable and not as firm as some other options.  The 36” long rollers (full round or half round) are good for supine positioning exercises or rolling.  The shorter rollers are more portable and suitable for rolling.  For additional information, click here.
