UNBELIEVABLE: Best foam rollers for the ultimate recovery | History Defined

You may have only come across foam rollers after a trip to the physio, hidden at the back of your cupboard, or even just dabbled with one after a workout in the corner of the gym - but you still may not know what the fuss is all about.

These large cylindrical contraptions make the ideal pre and post training buddy. As a type of self-myofascial release (SMR), the motion of foam rolling helps to relieve muscular aches and pains and release any tightness, while also increasing flexibility and mobility. Whether you’re a running fanatic or a wannabe yogi, this is something to get your hands – or legs for that matter – on.
