A good foam roller will have the right ridges and shapes to work out the knots in your muscles, and this foam roller bar does exactly that.

It comes in 4 different colours for you to choose from and 2 different kinds of ridges – crescent and conventional – for you to pick from depending on the amount of pressure you want.
