The GRID Foam Roller
The GRID is the industry standard for a reason, utilizing a patented multi-density exterior over a rigid hollow core that maintains its shape for years. Its varied surface texture effectively mimics the feel of a massage therapist's hands, providing superior myofascial release compared to flat rollers.
Ingredients & Purity
Constructed with high-quality EVA foam that is firmer and more durable than standard PE foam; the core is a reinforced synthetic pipe.
Scientific Evidence
Extensively used in clinical settings and professional sports; design is based on biomechanical research for trigger point therapy.
Brand Transparency
TriggerPoint provides extensive instructional content but is less specific about the exact chemical composition of their proprietary EVA blend.
Value Assessment
At ~$37, it is priced mid-range but offers a significantly longer lifespan than cheaper alternatives, resulting in a lower cost-per-use over time.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike standard polyethylene rollers that flatten within months, the GRID's hollow core construction is rated to 500lbs and does not break down. It avoids the 'bruising' effect of overly aggressive knobby rollers while providing more targeted relief than smooth foam.
