Why it wins
It is not strength equipment: it is used before training to open up range of motion and after it to take the edge off tightness.
Also
It works best on the quadriceps, IT band, upper back and calves.
The catch
Move slowly and pause a few seconds on a tender spot — rolling quickly back and forth does not produce the effect.
