FAQs
What’s the difference between a soft and firm foam roller?
Soft rollers provide gentle pressure, great for beginners or sensitive muscles. Firm rollers go deeper into the tissue and are better for intense relief and experienced users.
How often should I use a foam roller?
You can foam roll daily! It’s safe to use before or after workouts, or anytime you feel tightness or stiffness that needs some release.
Is foam rolling supposed to hurt?
It might feel uncomfortable at first, especially on tight areas—but it shouldn’t be painful. Start slowly, breathe through it, and adjust pressure to your comfort level.
Can foam rollers help with back pain?
Yes! Foam rollers are often used to ease tension in the upper and lower back. Just make sure to roll safely and avoid direct pressure on your spine.
What size foam roller should I get?
That depends on how you plan to use it. Full-size rollers are great for back and leg work, while shorter or textured rollers are perfect for travel and targeted relief.
