Foam Roller



OK. Since we're on the topic of tools to keep the body flexible and pain free, this one is a must. I was introduced to it by a friend who was undergoing physical therapy for tightness and pain in his knee. He insisted I try it for my similar issue, which I did, and have never looked back.

The first few sessions were painful and my IT band was amazingly sensitive to being rolled like dough, but after several weeks of regular use the pain of use subsided a lot and so did the tightness and pain in my knee. This has been part of a daily physical therapy regimen for me over the past 3 - 4 months with great results.
