New! The SMARTROLLER®

This patented, uniquely designed, resilient, durable 'two-in-one' foam roller is one of the most versatile foam rollers available. While its rounder side increases roller movement, its flatter side decreases movement. With the flatter side down, it can be sat on and stood on for balance related movements, while placing the rounder side down provides a more challenging, dynamic workout.

In addition to functioning as a therapeutic aid for rehabilitation and balance training, the SMARTROLLER can be used as an exercise prop for a variety of disciplines, including Yoga, Pilates and Feldenkrais®. Dr. Feldenkrais, a physicist and martial artist, originally introduced the foam roller to assist sensory motor learning and to promote higher states of body awareness. Building upon his ideas, the SMARTROLLER delivers an improved integrated experience to deepen motor learning.

The SMARTROLLER can be cleaned with dishwashing detergent or laundry detergent and a wet cloth.

Approximately 36" x 4"

"The SMARTROLLER offers another alternative in the use of foam rollers for balance, strengthening and body awareness as part of an over-all fitness program. It is especially useful as an addition to 'The Meeks Method' for the physical therapy management of the patient with osteoporosis, osteopenia, postural problems and compression fracture. The more rounded side increases the pressure on the spinous processes thereby assisting in the unloading, lengthening and re-alignment of the vertebral bodies in preparation for strengthening of the most important spinal support muscle--the Erector Spinae. The flatter side offers a greater challenge to balance when lying on the roller, thereby stimulating the nervous system and postural support muscles.   I use my own SMARTROLLER several times a week in my own personal fitness program."
