SMARTROLLER®
Sku: SMR36
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.
Approximate measurements: 36" Length x 6" Width x 4" Height.
Position the roller with the rounder side down for greater instability.

The Smartest Tool in the Box
When I was introduced to the Smartroller®, I was so excited not only for personal application but for my clients. Traditional foam rollers do have their place, however generally they're too hard to use, in every sense of the word. The Smartroller® is just plain smart! The design makes it safe and comfortable for my variety of clientele whether they have movement and pain challenges (autistic adults, fibromyalgia), are getting back to the top of their game (NFL players, professional dancers) and for anyone in between. The versatility in design allows for anyone using the Smartoller® to reduce tension, regain function, and most importantly slow down and pay attention to what they're doing to be able to create new and better ways of moving-- a great addition to your somatic toolbox!

My morning fix.
Every morning the first thing I do, (after making coffee) is get on the Smartroller. I will be 70 in July and I still work full time. Senior aches and pains are creeping up on me, but the Smartroller keeps me moving in comfort. All I need are 5-10 minutes on the Smartroller before I start the rest of my exercise routine and I am good to go. I have tried other foam rollers and they were either too soft or too hard, this one is just right! Thank you Dr. Stacy Barrows for developing a comfortable, easy to use, AND "very pretty" foam roller.

Brilliant and comfortable design
In the Feldenkrais world, we have loved and used rollers for decades. But truth is that rollers are very hard and not very comfortable. This Smart Roller is not only more comfortable, it's actually more functional. This combination yields great results.

Helpful tool for older guys
I'm a 60+ male, who is somewhat intimidated by regular rollers. The SmartRoller is easier to get on and easier to use. Since I do regularly play golf and other sports -- aches and pains are standard. The instructions of not trying to do "too much" and instead just being aware of the feeling of your spine on the roller are easy to follow and easy to do. How can doing so little be this helpful. Thank-you SmartRoller and Stacey Barrows. Pretty cool product. Well worth the price for the resulting relief.

A wonderful and versatile product!
As an active person who loves to try new and various methods of exercise, I was very excited to try the SMARTROLLER®. I was intrigued by its design and Stacy's creative approach to using it as a core strengthening, balance, stretching and therapy tool. You can create a large variety of movement sequences, especially when using the SMARTROLLER®r Guidebook as a reference. I just love getting on my roller every morning to stretch and loosen up tight muscles to restore my range of motion. I suffer from arthritis and this tool is an integral part of my daily exercise routine. Movement is very important for managing my condition and the SMARTROLLER® allows me to play safely while getting a great workout!

smart product!
The Smart Roller provides a gentler surface to teach clients movement possibilities. The nonslip surface creates better control and contact. I love it as a teaching tool!

great roller
I am a physical therapist, a yoga teacher and a feldenkrais practitioner. I had heard of this smart roller but it wasn't until I received one as a gift that I experienced it first hand. I am now ordering the links and the sitting tools to optimize all the treatments that I can think of to do with this roller. It's not too firm and it's not too soft. The ability to have it roll or be more stable makes for creative problem solving ideas. I lay on it and my back melts. I am excited to use the links to use for lumbo-pelvic mobility and education. It's simple but genius. The book is also very well illustrated with great ideas and it's easy to read.

Great with Seniors!
Many of my over 55 students have issues with balance and comfort when on a foam roller. They LOVE the Smart Rollers bc they are lower profile, so more comfortable for issues with shoulders, elbows or shorter arms; the Smart Roller's "aircraft carrier" shape provides the option of varying stability/challenge; and Smart Rollers are just more comfortable than any other roller.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to use them for fascial-release. They are not cylindrical, so the body cannot complete a full rolling motion against them; but there has to be a way. Right?

An essential piece of equipment
I have been using the SmartRoller for five years. It has improved my posture, made me more limber, and erases back pain when I have it. It stretches me gently but with great effectiveness. This is a revolutionary and really wonderful product that has made a huge difference in my quality of life.

A Comfortable Roller
I use the Smartroller all the time and recommend it to my clients. It is not unusual for me to hear from them, "I use it every day". I love to lie on it because you can feel your spine lengthen and be comfortable in the process, which has not been the case for me with normal foam rollers. The curved edge that makes stability easy is a big plus, you can focus on micro-movements happening internally without working so hard to balance. The comfort and balance make for more time to learn how to move with ease. I highly recommend owning one.

Love this product.
I took a smartroller workshop with Stacy Barrows a week ago and it changed my life. I didn't even feel time pass during this 5 hour session. It was easy to follow and even better, easy to remember. I was amazed to see myself relax so quickly and become so aware about my body and how I position it. I suffered from shoulder pain for years and it is now gone. I have continued to use the smartroller almost daily and look forward to learn more about it.

Perfect Fit!
The SmartRoller is the perfect fit for my back. I have a birth defect that bothers my neck and shoulder on one side of my body. The SmartRoller fits perfectly against my spine. My shoulders can fall open without getting hung up on the roller. It is really much better than a foam roller just cut in half. The gentle rocking is also very soothing and allows for greater relief of my neck and shoulder. I have been doing it almost everyday after I brought it home! I also like doing balance challenges sitting on the roller. I am positive it will help me be an awesome surfer at 52!!!!
I can't wait to use it with my clients!

Wobble-Fun!
The SmartRoller is much more comfortable to lie on, but without taking away any of the effects of instability, than traditional rollers!
My favorite 2 activities with the Roller??
-- Rolling up to sit, holding on to a leg, and trying not to fall off!!!!
-- Standing on the roller when I am using my iPad at a high counter.
I love to play with the challenges of moving through space (arms, legs, head, torso), while staying balanced (i.e. not falling) and being able to breathe! It is SO different from doing it on a stable floor, and I feel the benefits throughout the whole of my torso. (Not to mention to continual brain surprises). Bravo Stacy!

The SMARTROLLER has my back!
A couple years ago, I injured my lower back to the point where I was unable to walk without terrible pains in my back. I couldn't play any sport and I was feeling pretty down. Then, I was introduced to the SMARTROLLER and it changed my life. I would use the SMARTROLLER a couple times a day and within a month I was back out on the field playing the sports that I loved! Even if you do not have any injuries, the SMARTROLLER is great to keep your body alignment perfect and healthy. I use the SMARTROLLER every morning before I start my day which allows me to feel strong and ready to take on the day! I would recommend the SMARTROLLER to any and everyone!

Using the Smartroller helped many of my biking accident injuries
I use the smartroller at least 2 or 3 times per day and it is the one of the best things I do during the course of the day to keep my back and hip happy. Just lying on the smartroller relaxes my body, in addition to helping my back, neck and muscles in my jaw relax and stay pain free.
While regular rollers may require forcing relaxation through rolling on them, the smartroller requires no force and painlessly relaxes the muscles just by laying on it. If you have any neck, back or hip pain I highly recommend the smartoller. You won't be disappointed . I've had multiple injuries from a biking accident and this is one of best ways I reset each day!
