Great roller!
2/9/2016<br /><br />Received the Foam Roller from Spinal Labs today -- it was much bigger than I originally expected. I have some major long-term tendon problems from a condition known as Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome, so I constantly need work on my neck and back.  However, because of some tendon degeneration, I can only handle so much before it ends up hurting me.<br /><br />With that being said, I tried the foam roller and it was NOT for me -- it was too hard, and it began to hurt me (but not in a good way) almost immediately. So why the 4 stars, you ask?<br /><br />My husband has some bad back problems due to his time in the military.  He came home and tried the foam back roller and loved it.  It was the perfect size and firmness for him.  He said he could feel his vertebrae releasing as he slowly rolled it up and down.  I informed him that the paper that came with the roller said there was some training information on their website.<br /><br />However, when I looked for the training info, it wasn't there.  I went to their YouTube channel and they haven't uploaded a video since December 2014.  This is why I'm giving the product 4 stars instead of 5, as Spinal Labs indicated you could watch and learn how to better use the roller online.<br /><br />This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. My review is based solely on personal experience and is my honest opinion.<br /><br />UPDATE 3/17/2016 - Hubby is still using this almost daily. He loves this thing.  It helps him stretch and adjust his back as he rolls along it.
Rating: 4 stars
