The basic foam roller is a simple massage tool—a sturdy tube of foam that you roll your muscles over. But shopping for foam rollers can turn up limitless variations.
Buy a foam roller with a smooth surface for a beginner-friendly experience, or shop for foam rollers with textures, like grooves or studs, for a more aggressive massage. Whether you go for the basics or opt for wild textures, you’ll be buying an effective and budget-friendly massage tool that will last for years to come.
