SMabbutt Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just looking at getting a roller for my DD for Christmas, but not sure which is best. I've seen ones with and without bumps and 2-in1 rollers. Does it matter which type? She's 11 if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Don't spend a vast amount - I find the one with various knobbly bits better than not but that's my personal preference. I don't think it really matters. TKMaxx is pretty good for picking one up under £10, or Tiger stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canary Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 maybe next time she is stretching out in front of the TV hand her a tennis ball to stretch her muscles with, gently. See how she's gets on, it's more versatile than a roller and will do til Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballettaxi Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi, DD has both (smooth & one with Knobbly bits) - purely because they were bought as gifts when I'd run out of ideas for suggestions! She definitely prefers the knobbly one - for working out any areas of tension/tightness, but likes the smooth one to relax with - certainly doesn't look that relaxing to me but what do I know! Tennis balls are also a favourite - to the fury of her brother - and the balls with the knobbly bits on too. All purchased from TK Maxx and I think the most expensive was about £10 - I find people overlook items in TK Maxx if the box is bashed, I wrap up in tissue and put in a nice gift bag and she's none the wiser! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdance Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'm sure there was another thread on foam rollers where I posted some links - have a look in the archives using search facility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Quick Q - can someone describe what these long ones are/look like? DD has used on advice of physio round knobbly plastic balls of various sizes to prevent dropped arches but I am interested to see uses of foam rollers....will search other thread too b ut not very savvy at finding way around computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
