The PRO-ROLLER Standard by OPTP
OPTP released our first foam roller in 1996, when foam rolling was only known in small health and fitness circles. Eight years later, the OPTP PRO-ROLLER changed the game, delivering a new level of quality, performance and durability.
OPTP PRO-ROLLERS are built to outperform and outlast store model foam rollers. Their durable EVA foam allows for heavy, repeated use in the gym, studio, clinic or at home.
Professional Quality for All
The PRO-ROLLER is an all-purpose roller, ideal for self-massage, but also long enough to lie vertically on. It is designed for any environment.
Top Choice of Clinicians
Use for rehabilitation exercises for physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care and more.
Preferred by Gyms & Studios
Durable, high-quality, and easy to clean, these foam rollers stand up to heavy, repeated use in the gym and studio by athletic trainers and athletes.
Great for At-Home Users
Easy to use for all skill levels; these foam rollers are ideal for at-home exercise, massage, yoga, Pilates, balance training, and more.
The All Purpose Foam Roller
Great as an exercise roller for balance and core training, and for yoga or Pilates. Use for massage, as a back and body roller, or for stretching.
Moderately Firm Density
Moderately firm foam rollers are a level firmer than the soft foam roller but aren’t too hard or uncomfortable for balance and core exercise.
Professional Quality Foam
Closed-cell EVA foam delivers unmatched quality and durability. The PRO-ROLLER Standard is perfect for professionals, but also great for home use.

This is the roller to get. These foam rollers soften and torque and change shape over time. This one is hard enough that it remains fairly firm and straight and this is critically important to get the benefits from such rollers. Physical Therapists all use this one but it is true that they may have the cheaper softer ones for people just starting out on the roller and are struggling through the initial stages of inflamation or injury. Otherwise, THIS is the roller to get and I would suggest you ignore the few complaints about it being "too hard". You want these rollers hard for several reasons: 1. To do what they are intended to do, 2. To remain rigid and straight longer than a week.If you are using the roller properly, yes - you will have some discomfort and even what some might describe as "pain" which is why you don't get on these things and roll on them quickly; they are meant to work with slowly as you gradually use them to help to bring order to traumatized muscle and connective tissue. Your body will adapt if you use the roller regularly and what seems "hard" today re this roller will in 3.5 weeks of rolling everyday or every other day seem almost soft and a pleasurable nice gentle massage after that.So stick with it, don't go get a cheaper softer roller, and use it AS DIRECTED - yes even you, the non-expert, who thinks you know just exactly how hard or soft these things should be.The roller is for massage as well as stability (strengthening) work and again, in my professional experience in the trade, this is the best one out there. The only better one I've experienced is one I made by using plastic pipe from plumbers supply and glued sticky mats to the outside of the pipe. This one is slightly softer than using my home-made pipe one; this one is the perfect consistency of hard enough to do the job but soft enough not to break anything.

13 years later, this has held up. I have now introduced my step-kids to it and they love to use it as well.

While this foam roller is expensive, it’s outlasted three other foam rollers I’ve owned. I asked my physical therapist what they’re using their office and he told me about this product and said that they last and last. Boy is that the truth it looks brand new and I’ve had it for several months now. I love the firmness that this roller offers. It’s more supportive and doesn’t crush like soft rollers. I’m actually contemplating buying the same roller and a slightly softer density to use with yoga practice rather than than my physical therapy exercises. I’ve enjoyed it so much.

This roll seems to be slightly softer than the roll we use in our physical therapy clinic. I think this makes it excellent for people just starting to use a foam roller. I am using this roller with P90X2. I have only used it twice so far but it has worked well. It seems like the rumble roller would be more likely to put pressure on a nerve or bone. Sometimes things hurt because they are supposed to not because it is a muscle that needs work. I think this roller allows me to work my muscles with less concern for irritating the nerves. I may try a rumble roller if I don't feel I can get deep enough with this roller but avoid any areas that send tingling or numbness down the length of my extremities. So far, I think this roller will meet my needs. I have always liked OPTP's products and think they make the best lumbar and cervical rolls in the business. I looked to them for a foam roller and have not been disappointed so far.

Love this brand. Also could have went for the softer one but this is still great. Works muscles real good.

I am a Pilates instructor and an avid foam roller. This roller is worth the price. It is the perfect “just right†roller…not too hard and not too soft. I love it for rolling my upper back and lats. It’s also awesome to lie back on lengthwise and do pec stretches as well as ab exercises. I had a less expensive medium density foam roller that just kind of deteriorated after a number of months. I can already tell this one will hold up to daily use.

My yoga teacher introduced me to these rollers. She had taken lessons with them from another yoga teacher who had used various rollers from different companies. This roller holds up well. You will see I garden. I LOVE this roller, and use it every day or evening on my back to loosen up and get the vertebrae back in place. It really works well. You can also do a lot more, like loosening fascia in the legs, hips, etc. It is also comfortable to rest your neck against and turn your head from side to side. Provides good support. The end can also be used at the base of the head. I love it so much, I now take it with my when traveling by car or truck camping.

I use for massage, working out and stretches. It helps with releasing tension in my neck which I struggle with a lot. Highly recommend it!

Very firm. Have three people using this roller regularly for the last few months and it still looks and feels like new. This roller will last so much longer than the white foam ones. Highly recommend!

I've blown through at least 3 other foam rollers and none have been able to withstand my use of them for as long as this has. It was referred to me by my Pilates instructor who insisted on this brand, this type and I'm glad I took her advice! I was/am a marathon runner and while I have a love/hate relationship with the roller, I certainly know the difference when one works and when one stops working. Hands down - worth the investment over anything else you can buy in a sports store or running related store. Highly recommend.
