Best foam roller India [Reviews] + best Buys

My Best Choice

Bodylastics Foam Roller Massage Kit India

My no 1 choice would be a hollow rugged foam roller.

I believe these are the most versatile and can be used by runners, bodybuilders, swimmers and so on.

As these are hollow these foam rollers in India are no that hard. Although the spikes make up for the softness.

Although there is no special type of foam rollers that is suitable for runners, and swimmers but people always ask questions like which is the best foam roller for runners, which is the best foam roller for swimmers or even which is the best foam roller for back pain.

But I will share my own thoughts and recommendations.

Best foam roller for runners

Pummelo Foam Roller for deep Tissue Massage India

Runners, in my opinion, should use two foam rollers one is the usual hollow foam roller.

And another one would be the stick version.

With the stick version, you can easily grab the ends of it and run over the sides of your shin bone, and thigh.

You can force as much as you want to dig in and release the muscle tightness.

And the hollow foam roller can be used to release and stretch hamstrings, quads, and back!

I would not try to massage my necks, it might hurt with this model.

There is also a gap in the design that you can lie on your back.

And that way the spikes on this grid foam roller will not touch your spine.

Heavy pointed spikes on grid foam rollers are a big no for the spine or any other joints if that matters.

They also provide some of the best combos of best foam rollers in India.

You can get a yoga block, massage ball, hand/feet massager,, and more.

This is a lightweight EVA foam roller that is soft, there is no odor and this is anti-slip as well.

The total length of this foam roller stick is 18 inches, the handle is ergonomic and the middle part contains 9 massager rollers.

Final Verdict: This is hard so be cautious when doing self-massage.

But it is useful when you want to pinpoint muscle pain.

I personally use this one almost daily when I am sitting at home.

This also not a typical foam roller but a Yoga dual-head ball.
