foam roller… you my only friend!
Ok that’s not totally true:) but there are days that i wonder how I would get by without the relief i find in this thing! Especially for those darn hip flexor, oh and the tennis ball is runner up. Can’t count the time I’ve been rolling and thinking “wow this is just magical” 🙂 I’m assuming in def not alone in this but thought I’d share since it’s such a common thought… oh the joy of body love.

I am simultaneously repelled and interested by all the little crunching noises when I roll about; sounds like I’m sitting on a bag of cereal.

The tennis ball and I have a not so secret love affair. 😻

Oh, ladies if you haven’t tried it I strongly suggest the golf ball for especially stubborn areas….mmmmm golfball…..

On our travels I brought 2 rollers. 5 tennis balls and there’s a golf ball too! Lol must have! ✨

Yes all sizes and textures of balls are great:~) frozen is lovely too! I keep telling my husband we need some sort of track on the wall with textured balls that can be height adjusted, experienced that at PT office one day. Glorious!

Never tried a golf ball. I may have to invest in one!

Omg golf ball in glutes is fierce! Husband found me 3pm cross- eyed with three year old rolling on my chest almost crying with that golf ball under there.
Me: get him off me! I have a golf ball under my ass and I SO don’t need an extra 36lb on me right now!
Husband: is this a pole thing or should I be in any way concerned?

Hahahaha omg tropicalpole that is amazing! You gotta be careful with those things sometimes too…I got a little out of control with (I think it was a lacrosse ball?? Maybe a golf ball?) to the hip and while it felt awesome at the time I must have impinged a nerve cuz the left half of my….ahem…lady bits….was numb for a week….it was horrifying!! There was a definitely a moment of “what if the feeling never comes back…?”
Pudendal nerve impingement….not recommended!

Shoog you just sent some thoughts spinning involving Velcro…
-
Do tell…

Something like this but with balls? Velcro is pretty cheap/accessible….hang a sheet of the sticky side of the Velcro on the wall and wrap a strip of the soft side on the ball (or the around the whole ball!) attach ball to wall at desired height. Boom! Could roll the ball around too if you wanted or set dividers on places you’d want the ball to stay…kinda like how you’d do floating shelves? Or maybe have something attached the ball to stop it from rolling, like a straight edge? One set of rolling balls and one set of stationary balls? Wheels are still turning… >_

oooh lucca i had something like that!! i was rolling my lower back and must have gone a little too low at a weird angle or something – i had a really scary nerve twinge in my hip area/down my thigh , scared the crap out of me cos i thought i had done some serious damage!!!
but i love my foam roller!!! it really IS my best friend too, its never too tired to give me a massage =) feel like i need to get a few more sizes to do my forearms and neck too, i want a whole family of rollers! and looks like i need to get me some ball action too!!! =P -
Hey that’s a good idea Lucca! I think i need a much taller roller…. so i can lay on it vertically!!!! Love the relationship we have with our tools: )
