A foam roller is a lightweight, cylindrical tube of elastomeric foam used for massaging one's own muscles.[1] The roller is placed between the target muscle and the ground, and is rolled back and forth, using body weight for pressure.
It may be used for many reasons, including increasing flexibility, reducing soreness, and eliminating muscle knots.[2] Foam rolling is a method of self-myofascial release.[3]
