 Altus 24" foam roller January 30, 2010

An excellent foam roller. I've worked it hard for a month now, and it hasn't deformed at all. But it's not rigid; it's soft enough to use on my tender IT bands. I like the unusual 24" length, which eats up less storage space than a full-length roller but ably handles the same functions. All but one, that is: it's not long enough to support the length of your spine and your head simultaneously.
Works very well for me. December 7, 2009

I've used foam rollers in the gym and they worked really well for me on relieving muscle aches specially on my quads, hamstring and calves. I got this for home use and I have been using it even for stretching while watching tv. I have used hand held massagers and heat pads for my legs just to relieve soreness but stretching with foam rollers worked out the best for me. I am happy with this purchase. This specific product is quite good too. It is not as expensive and has a good quality density foam.
Perfect for soft tissue work. September 19, 2009

So far it has lasted 3 months and it doesn't look any different than when I first got it. I use it daily for soft tissue work.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT - Very Sturdy! I wish I had known about this years ago. I have trochanteric bursitis which basically means severe pain in both hips & thighs! I've suffered for many years and have taken many medications and injections which sometime help but only for a short time. While watching Dr Oz one day he mentioned this Foam Roller for bursitis pain. I researched the item on the internet and purchased it that evening. I decided on the 24" size. For something so very simple it delivers great pain relief. I found the exercises on the internet and they are very simple movements once you get the hang of it! BE PATIENT...it can be very painful to exercise your sore, tender areas but believe me it is well worth the effort. I perforn these exercises whenever I have a minute or two to spare and it only takes 60 seconds per spot. Of course when I started I could only bare to do 3-5 seconds because of the pain. After only a month I'm happy to report I can "MOVE" about without pain. Yes, I still have my flare ups but I no longer take any pain meds. If you are unsure about this item I would suggest talking to a Physical Therapist or someone that does deep tissue message. I've ordered many things from Amazon but this is by far the best money I've spent! I LOVE MY FOAM ROLLER! It is VERY Sturdy and the 24" size makes it easy to keep out of sight when not in use. When the roller first arrived I was very skeptical but now I'm a believer!!
