Who else foam rolls? I recently started back and it hurts so good. I foam rolled my back yesterday before bed and I slept like a baby. That feel :)

    Been getting back into it lately, might have to progress to a pvc pipe soon as my IT band doesn't hurt any more when I roll it.

    I started to use a lacrosse balls to. It amazes me how much these things can help out your posture.

    I have been told to get a foam roller for exactly this reason....I apparently have an anterior pelvic tilt.

    What types of stretches would be the best for me do you think?

    I use a rumble roller
    for really digging in, i'll set a barbell around waist height and roll on that.
    also use lacross balls.

    I have a Trigger Point and admittedly am horrible about using it. Trying to get better in that department.

    I have one and am really bad about using it too, even though I need to.

    To the person who asked - you can buy them at Target, Walmart, anywhere like that. I found mine in the exercise equipment department.

    i was told by a trainer at the gym to giveit a try to stretch my back that was sore. Wow oh wow!! First thing, my back cracked like bubble wrap. I am a large fella and the weight of my belly and suspenders pulling puts stress on the back and it becomes compressed. This was amazing to have it crack and loosen up so much. It felt wonderful! So guess I am gonna hvae to go and pick one up for the house.
