OPTP SMARTROLLER Two-in-One Foam Roller for Physical Therapy, Massage, Yoga, and Pilates

The SMARTROLLER, a versatile exercise tool designed by physical therapist Stacy Barrows, offers a multitude of uses and benefits. This uniquely shaped, patented foam roller sets itself apart from the OPTP product line, catering to both individuals and professionals, particularly Feldenkrais Method practitioners, by providing increased stability and balance for all users.

With its flatter side facing down, the SMARTROLLER can be comfortably sat on or stood on, enabling balance-related movements. Conversely, placing the rounder side down creates a more challenging, dynamic workout. Beyond its function as a therapeutic aid for rehabilitation and balance training, this adaptable exercise roller can be employed as a prop for a variety of disciplines, including yoga, Pilates, and Feldenkrais techniques, to strengthen the core, deepen body awareness, and improve mind-muscle connection.

Crafted from resilient, closed-cell, cross-linked EVA foam, the SMARTROLLER is a moderately soft, yet durable foam roller that can be easily cleaned with a mild detergent and a wet cloth. Measuring approximately 36 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches high, this versatile tool offers a two-in-one solution for Pilates and general exercise.

Building upon the ideas of the original foam roller's inventor, Dr. Feldenkrais, the SMARTROLLER was created by physical therapist Stacy Barrows to deliver an improved, integrated experience that deepens motor learning. The unique shape of this foam roller allows for multiple exercise types, with the rounder side down providing a more challenging and dynamic workout, while the flatter side enables easier, balance-related movements.

In summary, the SMARTROLLER is a highly versatile exercise tool that caters to a wide range of users and applications. Whether used for physical therapy, balance training, or as a prop for various disciplines such as yoga, Pilates, and Feldenkrais techniques, this resilient and durable foam roller offers a multitude of benefits, from strengthening the core to improving mind-muscle connection, all while delivering an enhanced, integrated experience inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. Feldenkrais.
