Power Systems 80675 Myo-Roller, Price/each

But once you get it its great. I use it up and down my spine. I have scoliosis and this allows the muscles the relax w/o pushing on the spine. The balancing it takes I believe helps me build a stronger core. Double bonus.

I just tried the Myo-Roller for the first time after a hard mountain bike ride and Im giving it high praise! Im 6-2 190 lbs. and for me this thing is just the right size just the right firmness and texture and contacts the muscles in just the right places when used on the back. Using the weight of my body I simply roll over it pausing for moments at a time along the way letting it sink in until getting a release. When I got to the mid-back, just between the shoulder blades, I got a nice quadruple crack! and then one or two more. A very satisfying adjustment - the kind where you can actually breathe better afterwards. Almost as good as having someone walk on your back!

It is a bit harder than I anticipated, but I can get used to it. Otherwise it is fine; a bit expensive. As far as the other evals you have sent: there are dozens and dozens going back two to three years. I do not have the time or motivation to answer them. STC

I constantly have trigger points in my upper back from sitting at a computer all day at work. After doing some research and reading reviews, I decided to purchase this item. It works great at relieving my trigger points and I like it very much.

I purchased this hoping that I could avoid the occasional trips to the chiropractor that are the result of an old sports injury that flares up 5 or 6 times a year. I have a very specific location (upper back between shoulder blades on the right side) that sometimes gets frozen that I was unable to mobilize again by myself and would require a visit to the chiropractor. As soon as I start to feel the tightness in that spot, I get this roller out and just roll back and forth increasing the weight I put on it until I can feel it loosen up/pop. It doesn't always work on the first try. Sometimes I need to stretch first to loosen up the muscles or even take a hot bath/shower, but it usually after that it works. I've only had to go to the doc once since I purchased this. In the year or so that I've had this, I've probably saved 10x the cost of it in visits. i also occasionally grab it and do a few full length spine rolls just as preventative maintenance and I usually get a couple pops from that as well.I have noticed that it seems to be becoming a little squishier over time, and I expect that I will probably need to replace it at some point when it is no longer firm enough to work effectively.

This is an o.k. product, works well but it is a bit soft for me (210 lbs) and it doesn't feel like it is going to hold up. Targets muscles around the spine and between the scapula very well.
