Our Verdict
The TriggerPoint GRID is the foam roller physical therapists actually use and recommend. The multi-density surface is more effective than a plain foam roller for releasing tight muscles, and it holds its shape for years. Worth the extra $15 over a basic roller.

Watch Out For

How Foam Rolling Works
Foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release — you use your body weight to apply pressure to tight muscles and connective tissue. Rolling slowly over a tight spot for 20–30 seconds helps release tension and improve blood flow. It's most effective after exercise or as part of a morning routine.
The GRID Surface
The GRID's surface has three different densities — flat sections, raised ridges, and raised squares — that mimic the fingers, palms, and thumbs of a massage therapist. This variety lets you target different muscle groups more precisely than a uniform foam surface.
Getting Started
If you've never foam rolled before, start with the flat sections and use less body weight (support yourself with your arms). The GRID is firmer than beginner rollers, so it can feel intense at first. TriggerPoint's free online videos show proper technique for each muscle group.
