Nubs, knobs, and ridges can help reach stubborn knots or areas that warrant deeper manipulation. It can be tricky to achieve deeper SMR with a smooth foam roller. Later, we reached out to OPTP (maker of our runner-up pick) and interviewed marketing coordinator Stephanie LaHaye to learn more about the life span of foam rollers. We also interviewed Michael Fredericson, MD, professor of orthopaedic surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center and the co-author of Foam Roller Techniques for Massage, Stretches and Improved Flexibility Lindsay Lopez, owner of Form Pilates in New York City, for her take on rollers in exercise Jon Graff, marketing director at exercise-equipment manufacturer SPRI at the time of our interview, to learn more about the materials and manufacturing of foam rollers and Thomas Best, MD, PhD, professor of orthopaedics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, for his thoughts on foam rollers that vibrate. To home in on the best foam rollers during our initial testing for this guide, we enlisted two experts: massage therapist Polina Savelieva, LMT, owner of Active Outlook Massage in Astoria, New York, at the time of our testing, who’s also a certified personal trainer and USA Triathlon coach and physical therapist Matthew Rector, PT, DPT, director of business development at H&D Physical Therapy in New York City at the time of our interview, who also holds a certificate in applied functional science from the Gray Institute. But the AmazonBasics High-Density Round Foam Roller stood out from the EPP pack as the best basic roller, proving you don’t have to spend a lot to get relief. We discovered that the ubiquitous firm-density foam rollers made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) aren’t much different from one another, at least in terms of the therapeutic benefits they can deliver.

Gyms and physical-therapy centers are strewn with them, but how do you know what rollers are best for at-home use? To find out, we whittled down hundreds of options to a top-selling selection of the most popular roller types, and enlisted a cadre of experts and their muscles for more than 45 hours of kneading and compressing. A growing body of research as well as bodywork pros-physical therapists, massage therapists, and personal trainers alike-extol the soft-tissue benefits of self-massage for improvements in muscular flexibility and reduction in stiffness (and even pain).
