I am always on the lookout for ways and products that will help defeat pain and boost self-care! Many of my clients have used these tools and found relief. I only recommend products, or services, that I have used myself or come highly recommended by professionals in my healthcare network.
Also in the interest of full discloser, I am an Amazon Associate so I earn a small amount from qualifying purchases.
it is easy to use too much pressure with these products and cause yourself minor injury. As always we want the pressure to be at "OMG that is amazing!" or "Hurts GOOD" Hurts bad or undecided if it hurts good or bad is TOO MUCH! This includes, "Well, it hurts but it got to be good for me." It never is!

I am literally using a device like this as I type this. Having arthritis in both my feet it is nice to come home and roll my feet while I am finishing up the computer work of the day.
I also like the wide base of this. With some of the smaller rollers, I have concerns about the focus being more on keeping the device in place instead of feeling what is happening to the foot.
This is also a great product for the office. Kick off the shoes at work and get your own foot massage. Heck ya!

Sometimes the best massage tools are items where the original use is not intended for massage. Enter the golf ball!
Just a good ol' golf ball. Pack of 12 allowing you to keep one at the office, in the car, bathroom, bedroom , home office, purse, etc
I like this golf ball as a very firm, small points massager for the feet and palms of the hands ONLY! The bottoms of our feet and the palms of our hands take a beating every day. They are the only places on the body I feel comfortable recommending using a tool this hard. You can use more pressure with this and the chance of self-injury is small.

Endless Versatility.
This foam roller goes beyond self-massage techniques. Available in multiple sizes, its versatility allows you to perform many different exercise variations.
Everyone I know who uses a foam roller regularly has a love/hate relationship with it. I, too, have a love/hate relationship with it.
What I dislike the most is the false belief of no pain, no gain. I have witnessed many people who are starting their muscle health journey who have been convinced by someone that foam rolling with the hardest thing available is the only way to go. I say, NO!
Foam Rolling has its benefits ONLY if done properly. When starting out, use something more soft than firm. The soft tissues MUST get used to the practice of foam rolling. Be nice to them! Plowing through fascial adhesions and muscle tension is just asking for bruising and injury to occur. This will set back any progress.
This is the softest foam roller I could find. Maybe a pool noodle is softer, but it still needs that bit of support to do anything. If you are new to foam rolling, this a good one to start with.

TriggerPoint CORE Multi-Density Solid Foam Roller with Free Online Instructional Videos
TriggerPoint CORE Foam Rollers offer a solid-core design and durable EVA foam construction to withstand years of repeated use. Unlike standard polypropylene foam rollers that are rock hard when new and can quickly break down and become soft, the CORE is made from EVA foam that has greater resilience after compression. The CORE consistency provides moderate pressure and delivers a premium massage with minimal discomfort. Its Grid pattern technology makes it the only solid foam roller on the market to channel blood and oxygen while you roll. The multi-density surface is designed to massage tight muscles, knots, and kinks to reduce soreness, improve flexibility, and increase recovery. The purchase of any TriggerPoint foam roller includes free access to an online instructional video library from the experts at TriggerPoint that illustrate the best foam roller techniques.

Here is the next level of foam rollers. I am a big fan of the TriggerPoint Brand. I especially like how this one has multiple densities in one roller. Once you get the hang of things with the soft foam roller, this one is the transition roller to the harder foam rollers. I would expect the average person to begin using this 1 - 2 years after the first. Yes, 1-2 years. The body moves slowly. Positive change is slow in the body.
I also like there are instructional videos with this guy. Could this be a starter roller? Sure, ONLY if you follow the proper way to foam roll.

TriggerPoint Foam Massage Balls
TriggerPoint Foam Massage Balls provide targeted deep tissue massage to relieve aches and pains, release muscle tightness, improve mobility, and restore movement. Massage balls are ideal for targeting discomfort in hard to reach, pinpoint areas such as calves, glutes, hips, pecs, shoulders and back. Available in 2.5-inch size in two densities - the firm MB1 or extra firm MBX - and the 5-inch firm MB5, these massage balls are lightweight, travel-friendly and durable for relief at home and on the go. The larger MB5 rolls more muscle surface, while the MB1 and MBX dig deeper into the muscle to roll directly on tender spots.
This one is the upgrade of 2 tennis balls and a sock. While I love the tennis ball and sock option's scrappiness, this guy I find to less cumbersome. It is a favorite part of my day when I lay on the floor, rolling this up and down my thoracic spine. The balls are placed perfectly on the erector muscles, and the space between keeps the bony processes of my spine safe.
IT is also just strange enough to start a conversation!

I could've lost my job over this guy! I first found the Y roller around 2013 in the breakroom at my job. I rolled on this thing and was 5 min late coming back from break because it was so awesome!
This roller is awesome for rolling the back out. The ridges are placed perfectly for a full lumbar to thoracic back roll. I remember literally purring before my co-worker reminded me of the time. I don't see this roller around much anymore, so I am glad I found this option for y'all.
