I was introduced to the foam roller by my therapist. I've struggled with painful muscle spasms in my shoulder and upper back. Stress makes it worse and I had to rely on muscle relaxers and pain pills. I use the full round foam roller twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. It has simply been the best thing I've ever spent money on. My pain is much more manageable and I don't have to wait until I have money for a deep tissue massage and finding my dependency on medication to have decreased significantly. I can use the foam roller, when and how often I need it.
