I bought mine from EliteFTS - Powerlifting and Strength Training Products and Knowledge for Lifters, Athletes, Coaches, and Trainers

I am sure you could find one cheaper though.

You might even be able to buy one locally from a chiro, physio, or ortho specialist.

You will surely have a love hate relationship with your roller once you get it. You will hate how painfull(good pain) it is to roll out the knots, but love how it makes you feel.

Awesome! Thanks dude. With a herniated and a bulging disc, this is the kind of stuff I need to do to keep me from reinjuring.

Good thing i stumbled upon this. This is JUST what is causing my back problems. Will update my log this week with stretches and how they are helping.

I'm going to try a few of these tonight. I've been doing some foam rolling but don't really know what i'm doing. That glute release looked painful!

Haven't read your log, but you inferring to sciatica problems?

I have been dealing with sciatica on and off for a while. This really helps. Especially the myofascial release on the piriformis. I started with a tennis ball, now I'm using a golf ball I've been symptom/pain free for a good while now. Knock on wood.

Yea, I've been dealing with Sciatica for a few years now. Always thought it was something to do with my spine but upon finding this I did some researching on the piriformis and it seems that my symptoms correlate more towards that rather then spine problems.

I had basically no flexibility in my left hip and sciatica on my left side. Upon stretching the pain has subsided a ton.

Great little thread to stumble upon =P

Yep, i've decided to do a body recomp... not just lose and maintain bf and add muscle but to add a lot of flexibility into my routines and body.. so this is a very good place to start.. heck to end as well..
