Foam Mobilization Rolls

These foam rolls are used in the clinic and for self-treatment (home program). They are flexible, yet firm and hold their shape after initial deformation. These rolls mobilize soft and dense connective tissue/fascia and joints. Various sizes offered, including:

Sacral Foam Roll - SOFT

Soft Sacral Foam Roll - Hesch Anatomical Products

SOFT - 1-1/2" diameter roll in 4-1/2" length. Ideal for small frame individuals of less than 120lbs. Especially ideal for patients in acute pain who tolerate only mild pressure, such as clients with fibromyalgia, etc. Loads slowly over 5 seconds to bottom out at a comfortable 50% height at 15# psi. Can be used in other parts of the body, such as trigger points, and for gentle soft tissue release. By using less pressure the clients tolerate the foam roll for a longer period of time, making for effective and long-lasting benefit.

The rubber foam has similar viscoelastic properties to muscle, fascia, and soft connective tissues. It's a soft foam much like what is used in stress balls.
