TriggerPoint Grid STK Handheld Massage Roller, 61 cm – Foam Roller for Relieving Minor Aches, Muscle Tension, and Promoting Recovery with a Firm, Durable Construction for Long-Term Use

I love this roller so much more than my big foam roller, it’s easy to use & does a great job for my sore legs. And I can use it sitting on the sofa, & don’t need to roll around the floor to use it

I am a powerlifter and I don't know how I made it so long without this thing. It works miracles on quads and calves. A must have.

I’m trying to become a runner and it seems that it is frequent to get muscle pains and injuries until your body adapts or if you train too hard for your level. This roller has been a great post-running help to greatly reduce muscle pains that sometimes make my running quite uncomfortable. To be clear, it is not a miracle, you have to put work in; the aim is that after every run, you should use the roller on your “trouble” muscles and this requires time and effort (you have to apply force). If you include its usage in your routine, you muscles will be less sore!

Perfect soft handles to move the roller with ease. Great to use on legs and even on back of shoulders. Good length too. Have people using this with hand problems so it’s easier for them to hold.

The Trigger Point foam roller is a difficult item to summarise and review. It is a well made piece of equipment, with a sturdy metal centre and ergonomic grips, but it very awkward to use on any body part except for the legs. The performance and benefit is also hard to quantify. I play roller derby, a full contact team sport on roller skates, and as such my legs take the brunt of my workout. Using the roller does feel good, but as soon as the rolling stops, so does the benefit for my legs. However, after a particularly gruelling game at the weekend my shoulders and neck had seized up, so my other-half gave me a back massage with the roller. At points the pain was fairly intense, which my dear girlfriend found particularly fun, but afterwards I felt a big difference, having regained movement and lost a lot of stiffness and ache. Generally speaking, I can't rate the Trigger Point roller that highly. It does not offer the effective self-relief from aches and pains it is designed for. Instead it is a good tool for using on someone else, and although the movement of the roam rotating is painful, it does offer relief.

When it arrived I started to think I should have bought the black version. Once I used it I was glad I had stuck with the orange! Really great for use on the calves and upper back.

Great item

Not quite what I thought, maybe it's just me not using it properly.

Voici un un excellent article que je recommande chaleureusement. Je fais du sport entre 4 et 7h/semaine, essentiellement du Crossfit, de la musculation ou du cardio. Après une bonne séance de musculation (ou de Crossfit), il n'est pas recommandé de s'étirer puisque les fibres musculaires ont déjà été sollicitées et connaissent des micro-lésions. Il faut donc faire des assouplissements tout en douceur et ce rouleau y contribue. Il sert à masser et détendre les muscles : il les décontracte vraiment bien. Il est solide et tient bien en main. Sa poignée peut servir pour des points de compression. Personnellement, je l'utilise beaucoup pour les cuisses (particulièrement les mollets et les tendons d'Achille, pour stimuler la vascularisation; ainsi que les ischios) et, par moment, pour le haut du dos. Mais pour la partie du dos, j'ai acheté le rouleau plus gros que j'utilise au sol et qui convient mieux, je trouve. Voici donc un bon investissement si vous pratiquez le sport régulièrement de manière assez intense. J'espère que ces quelques lignes vous seront utiles.

Excellent quality and beats rolling about on the floor on a roller. I actually use this.

Devo dire che è davvero il migliore. Comprato per staccare delle aderenze che avevo in una gamba. Usato regolarmente prima e dopo l'attività fisica, dopo un bel massaggio rivascolarizzante, ha prodotto buonissimi risultati. È fatto con una gomma dura ma è un pezzo unico. In modo che non pizzichi la pelle o possa tirare i peli nelle gambe degli uomini. Consigliatissimo. Veramente utile.

I used to run and have had a problem with my calves muscles (esp. anterior tibialis) for years. The muscles get very tight and hard, and I read that it's due to muscle weakness and overuse. I noticed certain areas are sore as soon as I started rolling. I’ve been using this in addition to [TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller Original (13-inch)] on my calves about 3-5 times a week, and I've already noticed an improvement in my symptoms after about a month. I tried the Performance GRID STK Handheld Foam Roller Regular Density (since doesn't roll smoothly, hard to exert pressure and roll at the same time) and the travel edition (the pointy massage roller poke uncomfortably), but for my calves, this was the best. It rolls smoothly. The rollers are made of foam that doesn't have much give (it's much harder than the GRID roller foam). The design makes it easy to get the muscle area right next to the shin bone without rolling over the bone. The roller does bend a little bit, but not a lot, which is good because you can exert as much pressure as you'd like. I've also used on other muscle groups (upper legs, forearms). The shoulder is a bit tricky, but when you are able to stabilize the roller, it works very well (just be careful as the handle can leave a black mark on the wall).

High Quality. Gutes Handling. Perfekt für Beine, Gesäß und Rücken.
