Choosing a Foam Roller - Fabrication Enterprises Retail Sales Corp.

Recently, practice of foam rolling has widely increased in popularity. While it was initially practiced only by serious athletes, now all people are encouraged to partake in it. Across the county, exercise classes are using foam rolling (self-myofascial release) as a preventive measure to keep muscles relaxed and injury free. If you are new to foam rolling, choosing a foam roller may not be the easiest thing. There are different firmnesses and sizes to consider.

FEI Retail offers a very large selection of foam rollers that appeal to anyone who wants to foam roll. Below is a handy comparison guide to help:

The CanDo® white foam roller has a moderate firmness and comes with the largest variation of sizes. The rollers are available in five different lengths, ranging from 18” to 48” and three extra diameters additional to the standard 6”. Smaller rollers save space when storing in an office or house, and they may also be a better fit for smaller individuals. These rollers are a great option for practices, gyms, and schools looking for a large economical quantity.

The CanDo® 6” blue rollers are very similar to the white foam rollers in their composition and firmness. They may be better fit for use in public places because their blue color keeps them looking cleaner and newer throughout repeated use.

For someone in need of a tougher roller, the CanDo® 6” black composite rollers offer an increased firmness. Their molded surface and rounded ends make them more durable, and their black color keeps them looking new throughout long-term use. These rollers are ideal for a regular experienced user who wants a basic but reliable roller. Black foam rollers are a great option for gyms and practices wanting a denser option for clients.

The CanDo® full-skin extruded roller is only available in the half-round size. Its full-skin provides protection and stability on all sides of the roller, a feature that most half-round rollers do not include. This skin allows the roller from warping and keeps the surface clean. Half-round rollers are great for use on ankles and knees. They can also be used to incorporate balance exercises into a workout.

The CanDo® Plus antimicrobial foam rollers are made with the same polyethylene foam as the white and blue rollers. However, they have an additional substance to protect against microbes and odors. This additive makes them fit for regular use after intense workouts or in public places. The half-round option has full-skin coverage to prevent warping.

The most attractive roller, ideal for personal use, is the CanDo® 6” EVA foam roller. This roller is made with EVA foam that provides a heightened firmness and increased durability. The outside texture features a slightly rigged design and a gives a soft feel.

The CanDo® premium 2-layer foam roller is unique in its design. The roller has a high-density core with a 1.5” comfort layer surrounding it. This layer makes the roller great for working on the core, abdomen, and back, as well as many more areas. The roller comes in three different colored rollers of increasing firmness levels.

All of these foam rollers work to increase performance and aid in recovery for both new and experienced users. By using this guide, you can find the perfect foam roller for you!
