I learned of a muscle roller from my awesome physical therapist during therapy. She urged me to purchase one and use it on my IT band and other muscles before I exercise. It makes a world of difference.
I just purchased the Tff Stx and I am excited about using it. I do a lot of bike riding and my quads and calfs can get pretty tight after riding long distances and also my neck. Pretty soon I will be going into my winter workout routine which includes spin classes and weight training. The Tuff Sts is going to be pretty handy.
how hard are you pushing when you roll? I am using a roller to relieve soreness after working out, and I don't want to be doing too little or too much pressure. thank you!
The pressure really depends on your tolerance. You want it to be strong pressure, but not pain. Kind of the same kind of feeling with stretching, a "hurts so good kind of feeling," but not just pain. Good luck!
Thank you I liked and Subscribed. I like the trigger point where you showed to use on shoulder. I had surgery a couple years ago and I bought one of these thinking it would just be good for body not really shoulders. But it is good for it and has been lowering inflammation which has eased pain.
+leslie KING Yes, I think it would be helpful. You would need to start off very gently and for short periods of time, but I do think it would give you some relief. Good luck.
Love this thing! Bought it last year for IT and other troubles but am using it as I rehab from hip replacement to work out some new knots. Taking it to PT next week. A good massage helps too. ;{) Thanks Dr. Jo!!!
+Ronald Simeon You can order them from my product store through Amazon.com www.askdoctorjo.com/products Definitely! It really helps work out those tight muscles! Good luck!
My right knee was replaced 3 months ago and I have recently begun the workout at a gym. After using the rowing machine a few days I began to have pain in my right quad and it became black and blue. Will using a muscle roller stick on the quad help this?
AskDoctorJo I can move my arm fine, when I tense my arm I don't feel anything whatsoever on my triceps however when I tense then push on my triceps with my fingers it feels like a bruise. Maybe it's my skin.
That's pretty normal. It's most likely the muscle irritated from so much pressure. I wouldn't recommend someone else putting that much pressure on a roller for you next time.

This was super effective. Even better than the regular stretches. Thank you so much for the video!
You're welcome!

Hi doc jo, for how long do you do the rolling at the muscle tightness and soreness?
Hi, would you recommend the roller for someone with painful fibromyalgia in the legs and lower back?
+leslie KING Yes, I think it would be helpful. You would need to start off very gently and for short periods of time, but I do think it would give you some relief. Good luck.

Where can i get one of these? And would you recommend these for athletes that do a lot of weight training?

FYI can not read the printed text on the video. The text is too light.
FYI you can change all that yourself: th-cam.com/video/VatNBZh66Po/w-d-xo.html
does rolling towards the heart cause any problems like veins
+Jesse Gonzalez It would probably only be an issue for someone with CHF (congestive heart failure). Good luck.
Can the roller help with sciatica pain?
It depends on what is causing the sciatica pain.
@@AskDoctorJo thanks for responding, I feel honoured
You're welcome.
.thanks dr Jo.

I don't think that will help with bruising. Gently massaging the area to help increase blood flow might.
PLEASE ADVISE FROM WHERE I CAN BUY THIS ROD ?? I'M FROM EGYPT >
+Mohamad Waly If you are unable to use Amazon.com in Egypt, you can try going directly to their website: tuffactivegear.com Good luck!
I got someone to push and roll against my triceps with this really hard and I'm worried I may have damaged something 😂 please tell me I'm wrong
Unfortunately, I really don't know since I can't evaluate you.

@@certifieddawg3689 there's a pressure point right in the middle of the triceps long head. MAYBE that's what was pressed.
