Foam Roller

I've just done a quick trip up Argos to pick up a click and collect foam roller after having read about their usefulness somewhere on this forum.

I'm now screaming the house down .....

Holey Moley!!!!

My word, that has increased my pain threshold rolling out my calf.... 🥴😃

Good fun aren't they

In a Masochistic sort of way 🤣

Certainly not for wimps. Ouch !! 😉

I learned the joys of foam rolling when I strained an ankle ligament. First the physio poked my calf - agony. Then he advised buying a foam roller. More agony, but strangely satisfying because you really do feel so much better when you stop

[Hidden in reply to Yesletsgo]

Oh yes. I feel great now I've stopped 🤣🤣🤣

They're instruments of torture, definitely! I got one on the recommendation of the physio after my adductor "pull" in early May. I don't use it regularly, but when I do...

[Hidden in reply to nowster]

Ouch ouch ouch!

That was my first go at self inflicted pain with the instrument of torture nowster. I need to get back on the couch 😁

I'm a bit of a wimp so I went for one of the softer ones but still... Ouch! 🤣🤣🤣

Thankfulky I think I've got the wimpy version too.

Some of them look like farming machinery!!!!! Ouch ouch ouch!

Just been for a lovely run. Now I have to go and roll ......😱😱😱

[Freecloud Graduate10]

I better get one, I thought they were a bit of a fad to be honest...

I will be taking a look for sure.

Had another go and nearly started crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Yesletsgo Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

If I could use my foam roller like the woman in those pictures I probably wouldn't need one 😂
