Can I just point out that most of the exercises on page 2 look like a crime scene in which the body was discovered splayed across a pugil stick.
Figure 13 is just silly - for those people with many different foam roller varieties at their disposal - and figure 18 looks like a poor substitute for downhill ski-ing
But seriously, thanks. And to think I only use mine so far for ITB massage and Pilates curl ups/pelvic stability....
What size / thickness of roller do people recommend, as I've seen 4" and 6" versions? After a very painful physio session yesterday I'm planning to get one for my ITB, and I'll probably use it on my glutes, hamstrings, quads and hips as well - anything to avoid the physio's elbows in future!!!
For rolling, a short one approx 18" long 6" diameter is all you need.
The long ones just take up room if you're not going to use them length-ways, unless of course you've plenty of floor space in your studio gym room for purr-lah-tes type activities.

Yeah, mine is strictly for my ITBs
and pretend gladiator stuff
I use mine for itb, hams, quads, calves and peroneals (owww).
After 4 hours digging in the garden the spinal roll (first pic) was lovely... and Fig 7 to stretch out my back if I've been driving for long periods.
I own 2 short ones, a long one and a half moon one - all freebies - so plenty of gladiator options!
and making screaming noises
and collecting dust
i have no idea which size to get???
Siance!!!! help!!!!
