Roll Recovery was founded
by Jeremy Nelson, an avid runner and cyclist who was unsatisfied with the
massage and recovery products that were available for endurance athletes. Jeremy is a product designer that studied Mechanical
Engineering at Colorado State University and Product Creation at Stanford
University. His biggest complaint was
that after a hard workout, the last thing he wanted to do was lay on the floor
and use a foam roller or “stick.” Jeremy
felt like it was a second workout, which just didn’t sound appealing. He knew there had to be a better way.
Jeremy’s goals were to build a tool that had all of the massage force
built into it for a deep (myofascial release) massage that would fit all body
sizes and target muscle groups that endurance athletes used the most. He wanted to be able to provide a
flushing-effect to move the blood and flush out waste products and still have a
product that was portable enough to take with you to races or keep on the
coffee table. The result was Roll Recovery’s first product, the
award winning R8.
Since the release of the R8, Roll Recovery also
came out with a foot roller specifically designed to tackle Plantar
Fasciitis. The design process took over
a year and consisted of working with therapists and elite athletes. The R3
Orthopedic Foot Roller was designed to target specific areas of the foot. It is not only good for plantar fascia pain,
but is excellent for rolling out your tired and sore feet after your workouts
and runs.
This is not your run of the mill foot roller. I have tried several foot rollers from little
rolling pin designs with grooves, lacrosse balls, and even frozen water bottles. I found that most of those tools were uncomfortable
and did more harm than good. I got the R3 about a month ago and tested it
out that night. I had just run 15 hard miles
earlier that day and my feet were a little sore. What I expected was a similar experience to
what I had with my other rollers, but that was not the case. I found the softer material in the R3 was extremely comfortable, but
still allowed me to really put pressure where I needed to.
There are different shaped groves to massage the center of
your foot, heel, sides of your feet, and even the ball of your foot. I just started rolling my foot in the
different grooves and arches and played around with what felt good. You can even use the R3 as a mini foam style roller. While it has a smaller diameter than most
foam rollers, it is great on calves, hamstrings, quads, hips and more.
A few other features that I really liked about the R3 is that it extremely light weight
at 0.875 pounds. It is 5.5 inches long
and is 2.5 inches in diameter so you can easily take it to the gym, track, or
with you on vacation. You could even
take it to a race for a nice foot massage after a really hard effort. The outer body of the R3 is made with a soft-touch
material and it has AMS core. The outer
material won’t slip and will work on any surface.
Relieves plantar fascia pain and rejuvenates tired feet

I had been unimpressed by other foot rollers, but my experience with
the R3 was quite different. Who says that good things don’t come in small
packages? I was really surprised by how
much I liked the Roll Recovery R3
from the moment I used it. You can pick
up yours for $26.99 at the Roll
Recovery website or at a local store near you (click here for locations). Grab one today and let me know what you

ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best foot roller I've used. I wasn't sure about it because it's new, but I know Roll Recovery makes good products so I tried it out. One of the best investments I ever made. Works much better and it makes my legs feel so much better after a hard workout!
