RumbleRoller™

Foam Roller for Myofascial Release
Quickly Relieves Muscular Pain and Tightness
As you lie on top of the RumbleRoller, its flexible thumb-like bumps penetrate your tight muscles, gradually restoring their proper function and releasing built-up pain. RumbleRoller is the only foam roller that's specifically optimized for SMFR (Self-Myofascial Release).

Now available in two sizes and two densities!
What Makes This a Better Fitness Product?
Regardless of whether you're a conditioned athlete or a sedentary office worker, you're likely to experience muscular tightness in your back, neck, or legs. If you can't afford the time and money required for professional massage therapy, the RumbleRoller is your best self-treatment option. It's convenient, economical, and remarkably more effective than other foam rollers.

Understanding Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a method of using massage to correct restrictions of movement. "Myo" is the Greek prefix for "muscle", and "fascia" is the thin sheath of silvery tissue that envelops the outer surface of your muscles. Injuries, repetitive motion, or even prolonged inactivity can lead to the formation of adhesions (also called "knots" or "trigger points") that bind together localized areas of muscle and fascia. Adhesions can partially block blood and nutrient supply to these tissues, as well as physically alter their contractile abilities.

To break up these adhesions and restore your muscles' health, you need some form of deep-tissue massage. A foam roller is wonderful for this, because it can be used almost anywhere and is very economical.
Common Foam Rollers Compress Soft Tissue
Unfortunately, the smooth, hard surfaces of conventional foam rollers can further compress soft tissue. Rolling on top of them does improve blood flow and tissue flexibility, but the effect is relatively superficial, unless you spend a lot of time rolling.

The RumbleRoller was created to perform this therapy more effectively.
The RumbleRoller Manipulates Soft Tissue -- Like a Massage Therapist
The surface of the RumbleRoller contains specially designed "bumps". The bumps are firm, but flexible, much like the thumbs of a massage therapist.

As you roll over the top of the RumbleRoller, the bumps continuously knead the contours of your body, gently stretching soft tissue (muscle and fascia) in multiple directions. This action erodes trigger points, helps restore flexibility, and brings quick relief to common types of muscular pain. By design, the RumbleRoller's bumps are firmer than muscle tissue, but much softer than bone, so they deflect out of the way if they contact your spine or other bony protrusions.

Through simple techniques, you can control the amount of pressure the bumps apply to your body. The bumps are closely spaced to one another (< 2" apart), so several of them simultaneously contact your body during most exercises. However, with a slight shift of your body, you can reduce your area of contact with the RumbleRoller, which increases pressure and provides deeper, more penetrating relief.

Which RumbleRoller is Best for You?
The RumbleRoller is made in two different sizes, and each size is available in two different densities. The information below will help you choose the best model for your particular needs.

Full-Size or Compact
If you plan to use your RumbleRoller in a single location -- e.g. at home -- you'll love the full-size model, because its extra length makes it more efficient for performing many exercises. It's long enough to roll the widest part of your back in one pass; you can roll both legs (quads, hamstrings, and/or calves) at the same time; and you can even transition from one IT band to the other without moving the roller. With the Compact RumbleRoller, you'll need to roll each leg separately, and will spend a little more time repositioning yourself between exercises.

The major advantage the Compact RumbleRoller has over the full-size model is its portability. At just 12" in length, it fits easily in your gym bag, backpack, or carry-on luggage. This makes it a favorite of runners and triathletes, who transport theirs from race to race. The Compact RumbleRoller's smaller diameter (5" vs. 6" for the full-size model) allows it to conform better to the curvature of some body parts, such as your neck. The Compact RumbleRoller also costs less than the full-size model, which may be important if your budget is limited.

Original Density or Extra-Firm
If you're new to foam rolling or have gotten positive results from any type of conventional foam roller, you'll want the original density (blue). Even though this is our "softest" roller, it's still more aggressive than any other foam roller on the market. The extra-firm version (black) is intended for experienced users with especially dense muscle tissue that doesn't respond to normal massage pressure.
Add Another Dimension to Your Foam Roller Program
The RumbleRoller's massaging action can be further intensified by changing your movement from a back-and-forth rolling motion to a side-to-side rocking motion. That's because the RumbleRoller's bumps have an asymmetrical shape that allows them to flex more easily in one direction. During rolling movements (i.e. the most common roller exercises, with the roller moving beneath you), the bumps flex relatively easily, and provide a wiping-type massage pressure. However, if you rock from side-to-side toward the RumbleRoller's ends, the bumps are forced to flex in a direction in which they're designed to be somewhat stiffer. This creates a deeper "digging" pressure.

This rocking technique nearly doubles the number of ways you can use a foam roller. It's especially effective for penetrating dense tissue like that of your calves, as well as hard-to-roll areas like your upper lats and even your neck.

The RumbleRoller Outlasts Conventional Foam Rollers
The RumbleRoller is molded from an advanced polymer that has several times the strength and tear resistance of conventional rollers. It has a wonderful feel, permanently retains its straight shape, and is guaranteed to outlast and outperform any foam roller that you've ever tried.

The RumbleRoller's smooth, nonporous surface repels most dirt. It's also water-proof and latex free, and includes a molded-in antimicrobial additive that helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus. To clean your RumbleRoller, simply wipe it down as needed with soap and water or any common household cleaner.
