					<description><![CDATA[This gnarly tool can give you a deep tissue massage every night. It is durable and highly effective at breaking up tough &#039;junk&#039; in your tight muscles. With very few exceptions it is safe to use anywhere on your body to hit "the spot" and break up myofascial adhesions and trigger points that limit your performance or recovery.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Which Rumble Roller is Best for You?</strong> The Rumble Roller is made in two different sizes, and each size is available in two different densities. The following information can help you choose the best model for your particular needs:</p>
<p><strong>Large or Small?</strong></p>
<ol>
<ol>If you plan to use your Rumble Roller in a single location &#8212; e.g. at home or the gym &#8212; you&#8217;ll love the full-size model, because its extra length makes it more efficient for performing many exercises. It&#8217;s long enough to roll the widest part of your back in one pass; you can roll both legs (quads, hamstrings, and/or calves) at the same time; and you can even transition from one IT band to the other without moving the roller. With the Compact Rumble Roller you can still perform almost every SMR exercise possible with the large one but you&#8217;ll likely need to roll each leg separately, and will spend a little more time repositioning yourself between exercises or areas of your body.</ol>
</ol>
<p>The major advantage the Compact Rumble Roller has over the full-size model is its portability. At just 12&#8243; in length, it fits easily in your gym bag, backpack, or carry-on luggage. This makes it a favorite of runners and triathletes, who transport theirs from race to race. The Compact Rumble Roller&#8217;s smaller diameter (5&#8243; vs. 6&#8243; for the full-size model) allows it to conform better to the curvature of some body parts, such as your neck. The Compact Rumble Roller also costs less than the full-size model, which may be important if your budget is limited.</p>
<p><strong>Original Density or Extra-Firm?</strong></p>
<ol>If you&#8217;re new to foam rolling or have gotten positive results from any type of conventional foam roller, you&#8217;ll want the original density (blue). Even though this is our &#8220;softest&#8221; roller, it&#8217;s still more aggressive than any other foam roller on the market. The extra-firm version (black) is intended for experienced users with especially dense muscle tissue that doesn&#8217;t respond to normal massage pressure.</ol>
<p><strong>Rock &amp; Roll</strong></p>
<ol>The Rumble Roller&#8217;s massaging action can be further intensified by changing your movement from a back-and-forth rolling motion to a side-to-side rocking motion. That&#8217;s because the Rumble Roller&#8217;s bumps have an asymmetrical shape that allows them to flex more easily in one direction. During rolling movements (i.e. the most common roller exercises, with the roller moving beneath you), the bumps flex relatively easily, and provide a wiping-type massage pressure. However, if you rock from side-to-side toward the Rumble Roller&#8217;s ends, the bumps are forced to flex in a direction in which they&#8217;re designed to be somewhat stiffer. This creates a deeper &#8220;digging&#8221; pressure.</ol>
<p>Before creating the Rumble Roller, the inventors spent years studying other foam rollers, and testing many different types of advanced polymers. Their material research resulted in a product that has several times the strength and tear resistance of conventional rollers, has a wonderful feel, permanently retains its shape, and is guaranteed to outlast and outperform any foam roller that you&#8217;ve ever used.</p>
<p>The Rumble Roller&#8217;s smooth, nonporous surface repels most dirt. It&#8217;s also water-proof and latex free, and includes a molded-in antimicrobial additive that helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus. To clean your Rumble Roller, simply wipe it down as needed with soap and water or any common household cleaner.</p>
<p>Both versions of the Rumble Roller (original density and extra-firm) have been tested by an independent laboratory in accordance with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 for lead and phthalates. All toxins measured below detectible levels, which the CPSIA considers safe for use by children age 12 and under. Although CPSIA testing is not mandatory for sporting goods, this information may be important to you because these toxins are known to negatively impact human health in many ways.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[We endorse these compression straps for use in SMR techniques to improve circulation to reduce sensitivity during SMR techniques to more quickly relieve soft tissue issues that limit muscular performance. These products are extremely durable, latex-free and made in the USA. Choose the appropriate strength strap for your muscle size and density.

Email your larger order inquiries to: <a href="mailto: info@smrtools.com">info@smrtools.com</a>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The green strap (Level 2) is 2-1/4&#8243; wide and provides 3-9 lbs. of resistance. This 80&#8243; long band can be used for light-level strength training, or in a rehabilitation setting. This is the second lightest of the compression straps that we sell. This strap will be too light for most adult men to use unless they are unusually tight like after an extremely taxing competition. Most adult women will do well with this strap for their arms &amp; calves. This strap will be good for many teens&#8217; thighs but probably not younger children.</p>
<p>The yellow strap (Level 1) is 1-7/8&#8243; wide and provides 2-6 lbs. of resistance. This 80&#8243; long band can be used for entry level strength training, or in a rehabilitation setting. This is the lightest of the compression straps that we sell. This strap will be too light for most adult men to use. This strap will be too light for most adult women to use unless they are unusually tight like after an extremely taxing competition. This strap will be good for most teens&#8217; &amp; younger children.</p>
<p><strong>So sorry but the following straps are out of stock</strong></p>
<p>The orange strap (Level 4) is 2-1/2&#8243; wide and provides 5-13 lbs. of resistance. This 80&#8243; long band can be used for mid-level strength training, or in a rehabilitation setting. This is the strongest of the compression straps that we sell. This strap will provide intense compression for most adult men to use only on their thighs unless they are unusually large or very comfortable with the other levels of compression. This strap will be too intense for most adult women. This strap is not recommended for most teens&#8217; &amp; younger children.</p>
<p>The black strap (Level 3) is 2-3/8&#8243; wide and provides 4-11 lbs. of resistance. This 80&#8243; long band can be used for mild-level strength training, or in a rehabilitation setting. This is the second strongest of the compression straps that we sell. Most adult men will do well with this strap for their arms &amp; calves. Most adult women will do well with this strap for their thighs. This strap will be too intense for many teens or younger.</p>

<p>Marble doesn&#8217;t tend to hold heat well like the basalt stones, which are the stone of choice for heat work. You can chill this cylinder in the refrigerator or freezer, or warm it under the hot water in your sink or in a stone heater (similar to a crock pot), but be careful when first applying to the skin! Use the marble cylinder much like any other SMR roller under your forearm, upper arm, neck, calf, or arch of the foot while doing some of the standard SMR exercises. When heated or chilled the temperature change can greatly assist the soft tissue in responding more quickly to the pressure applied during the SMR exercises. <strong>Get 30 minutes of SMR work done in less than 5 minutes!</strong> Use this cylinder with the hand stone in the shower for a treat. Place the cylinder and hand stone on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you slowly roll your arch several times on the cylinder and then gently press your arch into the dome side of the stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!)</p>
<p>There are MANY more marble stones utilized at spas for hands-on cold stone massage than we sell on this site. Many of the stones used in spas are being used by a licensed therapist working ON YOU rather than you using them on yourself. The stones you see listed above are the ones we have selected as the most beneficial for home use. You should proceed with caution when using any of them. You can very literally freezer burn yourself with stones that are too cold for use. (BE CAREFUL!)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chill them in the refrigerator or freezer, but be careful when first applying to the skin! It is best to use a <strong>dry barrier</strong> (sheet, shirt, or towel) between your skin and the stone to prevent freezer burn. Use them like you would an ice pack (that won&#8217;t melt), or cool cucumbers (that you don&#8217;t need to slice). Marble stone does not retain heat as long as basalt stone does, so this stone is not ideal for warm or hot stone work except while in the bath or shower where the heat is continuously applied.</p>
<p><a href="http://smrtools.networkfitness.com/shop/marble-neck-pillow/"><strong>Neck Pillow:</strong></a> This oblong-shaped carved marble stone is ideal for uses where you want the effect of a ball or small roller coupled with cold to reduce inflammation caused by muscles engorged with too much blood (like right after an extremely intense workout). Use it under your neck for a cooling sensation that can help with tension headaches or use it under your arm or calf while doing some of the standard SMR exercises. For a treat, place this stone on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you gently press your arch against the top of the stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!)</p>

For a treat, place one marble hand stone on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you gently press your arch into the dome side of the stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!) </p>
<p><a href="http://smrtools.networkfitness.com/shop/marble-green-cylinder/"><strong>Green Cylinder:</strong></a> This is the ONLY marble stone recommended for both hot or cold stone work.

					<description><![CDATA[These oblong-shaped stones are made of smoothed volcanic rock and hold heat for an exceptionally long time. Use them to add the circulation improving benefits of heat applied to the muscles to accelerate the effects of your SMR efforts, or simply lay them on top of your trouble area and let the heat soak into your body tissues. ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These natural stones will vary slightly in exact size and shape, but the general dimensions are noted for each stone. These stones are ideal for uses where you want the effect of a ball or small roller coupled with heat to more quickly loosen up tight muscular knots. Heat the stones in 160 degree water, but be careful when first applying to the skin! It is best to use a barrier (sheet, shirt, or towel) between your skin and the stone to prevent any burns. Use it under your neck for a warming sensation that can help with tension headaches. Or use it under your arm, thigh, or calf while doing some of the standard SMR exercises. </p>
<p><a href="http://smrtools.networkfitness.com/shop/basalt-neck-pillow/"><strong>Neck Pillow:</strong></a> Use this small stone in place of a ball when practicing SMR techniques for the added benefit of increased blood flow to the area you are addressing. For many people just a short time of applying heat along with the pressure techniques affords them lasting relief from issues they otherwise could not work out on their own. For a treat use this under your neck before bed. (Ohhhhhh so good!) Use the neck pillow in the shower with the green cylinder for a treat. Place the cylinder and neck pillow on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you slowly roll your arch several times on the cylinder and then gently press your arch into the neck pillow stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!)</p>
<p><a href="http://smrtools.networkfitness.com/shop/basalt-sacral-belly-stone/"><strong>Sacral Belly:</strong></a> This large and heavy stone helps relieve cramping and adds a sense of being grounded when used in the lower belly area. It also delivers a deep, penetrating warmth to the musculature of the lower back and upper sacral region. Use this large stone in place of a ball or roller when practicing SMR techniques for the added benefit of increased blood flow to the area you are addressing. For many people just a short time of applying heat along with the pressure techniques affords them lasting relief from issues they otherwise could not work out on their own. For a treat use this under your lower back or hips before bed. (Ohhhhhh so good!) </p>
