ANONYMOUS - Purchased Exercise and Therapy Foam Rollers
I do not usually endorse anything, even if I like the product...this product is actually amazing though and worth writing about. I have MAJOR back problems and have been looking at surgery for the past 20 years...the doctors (approximately 8 over the years) have tried talking me into it, but I have refused because I just do not think technology has come far enough to risk it. I have tried various other remedies, you name it and I have tried it...none of them really have worked all that well or for any length of time. This roller thing, however, has been a huge blessing. IT WORKS! FOR REAL! I just put it under my hips and roll it forward away from my knees and it begins to give me TOTAL relief, back and forth you just gotta relax into it and go SLOWLY. It actually helps you stand up easier and feel the strength in your back increase. When you get up off the floor...you'll see what I mean. Just go try one at the store, make the clerk help you if you do not understand my directions. I thank God for this easy fix because it works EVERY time...I hope this will help many people as much as it has helped me. I paid like $30 for it, and thought that was way too expensive for a glorified "swimming pool noodle" but duuuuuuude I would pay double, seriously, that is how good this stupid thing is. I carry it travelling with me...IT IS THAT UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! (the one I bought was the 6"x36" roller-the real thick one)
