Foam Roller
The Foam Roller is a prop used by many Pilates teachers (as well as physiotherapists, Osteopaths etc) around the world. Rolling on the foam roller allows us to passively massage our muscles and other tissues, improving circulation and releasing tension. Like any form of deep tissue massage, rolling on the FR feels like a mix of pain and pleasure that is not everyone's cup of tea... and yet, used well, it can help relieve nagging pains and avoid injuries related to muscle tightness.
The Foam Roller can be used to add elements of balance to familiar exercises such as the Chest Lift or Single leg Stretch, add range of motion to exercises (using it as an elevated surface) and generally used to modify exercises, creating variety and adding challenge.
