Also known as foam rollers, these tools allow you to effectively massage your entire body, and are available in various designs. In addition to the colour, you can choose the size, surface, material, and hardness that suits you best. For technology enthusiasts, there are smart vibrating rollers, where you can adjust the intensity yourself. However, in this category, you will find not only massage rollers, but also massage balls, muscle roller sticks, tools for stretching the back, and other accessories that you can use to massage your entire body.
By using massage tools, such as the fitness foam roller, you can improve blood circulation in specific parts of your body, which can be beneficial, for example, before a workout. This allows for more oxygen and nutrients to reach the muscles while exercising, which can lead to better performance and, to some extent, injury prevention. After exercising, massaging the specific area can support recovery and relaxation by releasing tension in the worked muscles. Many athletes also use these tools to improve flexibility, mobility, and increase the range of motion. They are often used to massage painful areas in muscles – the so-called trigger points. That's why this tool is sometimes called a trigger point roller.
Using a foam roller is really simple, so you can easily manage it at home or at the gym. Just position a part of your body on it, such as your Achilles tendon, hamstrings, or back, and roll the roller back and forth over the area. If you decide, for example, to massage your back, simply lie down on the roller and slowly move back and forth to make it roll. Don't forget to engage your core while doing this. If you feel more tension in certain areas, you may have found a trigger point. Make sure to place more emphasis on massaging that part of your body.
Work in a similar way with other massage tools, such as massage balls (spiky balls). These are used to massage the smaller parts of your body that are not easily accessible with a roller, as it might be too large for them. This includes your hands, neck, or feet.
If you are looking for an effective way to improve blood circulation in various parts of your body, support recovery, relaxation, or reduce the likelihood of injury during exercise, then self-massage tools are an ideal solution.
