"As a specialist in pain management & rehab medicine, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and an international lecturer on functional movement strength & conditioning, I've seen no shortage of pain relief devices come across my path and my desk. While it can be said that many such devices are helpful if used within the proper context, I've seen very few devices or training tools that impressed me nearly as much as the Rumble Roller."
When I first saw the Rumble Roller on OPTP.com, the device looked downright medieval and too painful to apply for self-myofascial release (SMFR) protocols. Yet, upon trying it, I was pleasantly surprised at how the rubber nubs felt more like the fingers of a trained soft-tissue therapist - not too rigid to be uncomfortable, and not too soft to lack effectiveness. The staggered layout of the nubs allow for side-to-side rolling to be more effective as well. Instead of being limited to a long-axis rolling application, the Rumble Roller allows for tremendous therapeutic benefit for areas that are usually too delicate or too narrow to access with a traditional roller."
"I have introduced the Rumble Roller to clients, colleagues, students, and patients across the world to great acclaim and look forward to seeing it more widely distributed internationally in the years to come!"
Dr. Mark Cheng, L.Ac., Ph.D., FMS, RKC TL, Chief Instructor - Kettlebells of Los Angeles, Clinic Director - Chung Hua Institute "It's been pretty popular with our athletes and staff."
Eric Cressey, MA, CSCS, President and Co-founder, Cressey Performance "I just got my Rumble Roller today and I love it. I like it much more than traditional foam rollers for SMR purposes."
Bret Contreras, CSCS, a.k.a. The Glute Guy "I have just purchased your product and am in love with it! I have used foam rollers for over ten years and have never had such a great response from one. The design is brilliant, the material is brilliant and the final product works like magic!"
Mark Reifkind, Master RKC Instructor, Girya Kettlebell Training "YOU'RE SO RIGHT about it obliterating the QL's -- I have a 'spot' on the right side that it hits hard - GREAT!"
Tom Seabourne, Ph.D., Professor of Exercise Science "I just received the Rumble Roller, did a session with it, and compared to the foam rollers I've used, including the new textured roller by Trigger Point...I LOVE the Rumble Roller."
Ben Greenfield, CSCS, 2008 Personal Trainer of the Year "It's a great product."
Mary Thode, DPT, Founder, Vertex Physical Therapy "I found it very helpful for my lower and upper back, it hits a few spots that the normal foam roller cannot contact. It was SO tough on my IT bands so I'll have to work into that one."
Callie Durbrow, CSCS*D, USAW Sports Performance Coach "The Rumble Roller is awesome for this and by far the best type of roller I've ever used."
Dave Tate, Founder and CEO, Elite Fitness Systems "I am a huge fan and several of my friends have purchased the roller also. I have some significant SI, back, hamstring issues - and currently use both a tennis and softball, but once you've rumbled, its just not the same."
Donna Rice, triathlete "The rumble roller is one of the best investments for my back I have made. The quality & feel is un-matched!"
Greg Zook, Owner, Zook Studios "I've had good feedback from guys that have used it within the training centre where I work. The majority of guys like it and use it as an alternative to the regular roll."
Dr. Ryan J. Hoover, BSc, DC, CSCS, ART Provider, Back & Body Health "Good for the quads and ITB and Thoracic spine."
Scott van Niekerk, PT, Wholistic Physical Therapy "Yes, I know it looks like a torture device. But just find one and lie on it. Your body will thank you."
Jennifer Stahl, Editor, Pointe Magazine "Awesome."
