Oh yes. I have 3. To be fair, I can't say I really love my densest/hardest foam roller. I prefer my medium density roller. For PT for a different injury once I had to spend two minutes rolling on my IT band from my hip to knee (2 minutes for just the one pass), so I got pretty used to it. But using it to roll up out my back and shoulders in particular… Love it.Foam rollers?...i have such a love/hate relationship with that device. @Christy You love it?
I hope so! I’m using it and not very happy about it. It hurts like hell, and the position is awkward and hurts my shoulder. I dislike those massage guns, but I might give up on the foam roller and try one.You build up a tolerance for it!
If you follow your PT's orders to the letter, you might see some really nice stability gains - I did, when I broke my ankle. I have a long history of ankle instability with lots of rolls, twists and sprains, but my ankle stability on both sides has actually been a lot better since I broke one and tore the ligaments too. (I did all the exercises on both sides so the other ankle improved too.) I was warned that I was at risk of chronic ankle instability because of the ligament damage, so I was intimidated into doing all my PT exercises as often as I could/as often as I was allowed. Even though I had kind of a long road to recovery, my ankles are now WAY better than they ever have been! I still do the PT ankle exercises every so often, to keep up those stability gainsThree more weeks in the boot, then light-duty only, plus PT since I have a history of instability in that ankle.
Same!! I feel like foam rolling my quads especially is the only way I can reliably ski multiple days in a row.I love my foam roller and always take on ski trips! Along w my la crosse ball.
Your neighbor sounds like a prize!My 87-year-old neighbor keeps texting me to see if I need anything from the drugstore, store, etc., which I think is sweet and also funny.
