This is excellent quality and super durable. It still seems brand new after years of consistent use. I expected the foam to be spongier, but it's actually for the best that it's so firm because it's easier to control. Although the spikes look a bit intimidating, the surface feels surprisingly even when I'm rolling flat, and I can also target specific spots simply by adjusting my position. By turning my torso to the side while rolling my back, I can even work the knots under my shoulder blades, which is fantastic since that's mainly why I bought this.
It's also proven quite effective at relieving tightness and cramps I often experience due to Restless Legs Syndrome. Rolling my calves and thighs before bed really relaxes my legs, which helps me fall asleep much faster and wake up without soreness. My best friend owns one too and swears by it after vigorous workouts. It can even be used purely for pleasure, as the massage function feels enjoyable all around.
Best of all, there are plenty of ways to utilize it regardless of one's fitness level. I have poor upper body strength but still found many easy exercises that alleviate my back and leg issues. There are tons of great guides online. I suggest securing loose clothing and long hair beforehand, and I'd also recommend starting slow and taking care not to overdo it. This is an extremely versatile and valuable tool when used in moderation, but going too long or hard, especially on a single area, can result in bruising. Once I began limiting sessions to 15 minutes, I had no further issues.
My only complaint is the length. I'm a woman with a small frame, and this is the same size as my upper back from shoulder to shoulder. I struggle to stay perfectly straight while rolling my back, so I start falling off the side as soon as I become crooked. With a few extra inches of leeway, I wouldn't have to stop and reposition so often. That's just a matter of convenience though. A longer model wouldn't be any more effective, and I don't plan on replacing this one until absolutely necessary because I'm so satisfied with it otherwise.
