    @trimi1104 what do you think about the foam roller? I was contemplating buying one to work on the knots in my muscles.

    @2020pinktogo
    Short answer: don't do it, at least not traditionally.
    Long answer: I use the term foam roll loosely as it's the only way to call what I do but I don't use a proper foam roll. The typical foam rolls come with some problems, you know those cute rolls all cut up and modelled? Nearly useless, chances that the contracture you have to work on falls in between the lumps and bumps are very high so you're missing the point.
    Also the foam isn't working for you at all, I know perfectly that it hurts but that's the whole point of it, if you are comfortable you're wasting your time.
    We use a pvc pipe, exactly the same you'd use for plumbing. They are grey or orange here, you can get it from hardware stores cut up to the length you prefer (I also had some small ones made for when I travel) and they can hold your weight. And that's what I use for a "foam" roll, no foam obviously and it goes directly to the contracture.
    An additional item I suggest is a small rigid ball, golf is too slippery and tennis too big, a table tennis ball is ideal. That's small enough to work into the muscles to release a contracture if it's deep, typically into the calf or quads.
