Rumble Rollers - Worth $70?

[Cdsnuts]

These things are the bomb. I walk around with persistent severe low back pain. I started doing rehabilitative Pilates a couple months ago, and that has made a HUGE difference. It's pretty spendy, though, and when i found out about the RR I decided to give it a try as a way of lessening the number of paid Pilates sessions. Works great. After just a couple of weeks, the pain is mostly gone, although I'm still stiff.

Another recommendation is the firm Rogue ABmat. Not as an exercise tool. I use it as a lower back support when I'm sitting in a chair or in the car. It used to be that it would take me a minute or two to be able to straighten out when I stood up after sitting for more than a few minutes - usually with some pain. Now the support it provides has obviated the whole problem.

Looking for something similar. I'm tall and I sit all day and it's wreaked havoc on my low back. I just started using the inversion table but need something for my car and office chair. This may foot the bill. Right now I'm using a rolled up towel and duct tape......

I'm 6'2", and this is the first thing I've found that works. Get the ABMAT 2, the firmer version. I had to drive 4 hours yesterday. Usually in that case, it would take me at least a minute to get myself out of the car, another 2-3 minutes before I could stand up straight, and 10-15 minutes before I could walk with no pain (just stiffness). With this thing I was outta the car, standing straight and moving around with just a little stiffness right away.

I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm in the car all day and I know exactly what you're talking about in regards to that. The towel works but it's a pain in the ass having to adjust it all the time.

Yes, well worth it. I have the Blue model use it pre and post workout, Effective and if you consider how much it would cost to get massage 30 to 60 x a month it is down right cheap

Another random recommendation.

Remember Absorbine Jr?

Well it has an older brother, the original Absorbine liniment for horses. I got a big bottle of the gel a few months ago. It's only a topical analgesic, but it's very effective even for deep strains and soft connective tissue relief. I generally use it on my dodgy left shoulder and lower back everyday after working out, and anywhere else that's needy as needed.

Nice, horse pain relief. I apparently have a store 2 miles from my house that sells it. I mean if EQ works this should, yeah?

Are they good? Yes, rollers are good and work

Are they worth $70? Oh hell no, not even close, maybe like $20 but I refuse to pay $70 for a piece of foam. It's the newest overpriced gym equipment, give it a few years.

And the resident contrarian chimes in with an ill-informed opinion. A RR is not simply a piece of foam.

Still not worth it

Still not worth it

Seeing as you've never used it, that's quite the arrogant position that you have, but I expect nothing less from you.
