Carbon Deep Tissue Foam Roller

It is accurate to it's description, works great to relieve tension in the worst spots. I've always loved how simple these rollers are but until discovering the Trigger-Point brand I couldn't say that rollers work as well as other devices to relieve tension. I think they "hit it on the head" when it comes to the stiffness of the carbon roller, I wouldn't use the word "soft" to describe it, but it's not ungodly hard either (besides the very core), the black foam covering the outside has almost a rubbery feel to it, a soft rubber though not like tire tread. It makes a great addition to your roller collection, but if it's your first roller then I would advise going with the Trigger Point Grid 1.0 as it provides enough cushion to roll out all parts of the body, this one will definitely be too stiff for some people to use all over. But if you've tried other rollers and weren't satisfied with their ability to get deep into muscle tissue in order to relieve tension, then I would absolutely recommend the Carbon series roller.

It’s hard, small, and painful. Exactly the way I like it.

I bought this because my aging knees sometimes hurt. A couple of people said it's because my IT band is tight. I know jack squat about anatomy, but ok. I started rolling my IT band (outside of each thigh) using softer rollers. This can hurt, but you can get through it if you know how to relax your muscles and breathe through the pain. In time, it gets a lot easier. Then a trainer at my gym recommended trying their green trigger point roller, which is not like this one. She was like, "If you dare!" So I dared, and it was even better. Then my problem got worse, and my massage therapist poked into my IT band with her jackhammer fingers. That helped a little bit. She then told me to roll my IT band 3 times per day for the rest of my life. I figured I needed my own version of that green Trigger Point roller at home. But then I saw this wicked looking black and red thing that Trigger Point sells, and I'm like, "Yeah, that's the one. I can handle THAT!" So it arrives pretty quickly (Amazon Prime), and I go to work on it the same day - 10 reps each thigh. Holy cow, that hurt. BUT, my knee pain disappeared. Over the next week, my thighs turned yellow from bruising and felt kind of tender, but my knees were fine. I haven't used it in a few weeks, but my knees are still great. So, drawing upon what physical and massage therapists told me, I think this roller scrambled the crap out of the myofascia in my thighs and restored normal function to my knees. I'll do it again in a heartbeat if my knees act up again.

I'm a 66 year old endurance athlete who came to rolling relatively late in life. I have a TriggerPoint Grid as well as a Roll Recovery R3 and R8 and I love them all. Rarely a day goes by now when I do not spend at least 15-20 minutes rolling from head to foot. I bought this TriggerPoint Carbon mostly because I had been using my R3 on my glutes per Roll Recovery's recommendation with some success. The R3 is an amazing foot roller, but simply so-so when it comes to glutes. It's not truly designed for that. The TriggerPoint Carbon is and it is simply amazing. One week in, this has become my go to full body roller. I only use the Grid now when I'm feeling especially sore. Note of caution: It's everything they say it is. If you don't want deep tissue massage, this probably isn't for you but at this price point I'd probably get one anyway because most people will find ways to use it productively. Can't say enough about the quality. Great, great purchase.

If you are looking for a firm roller that digs in this is it. I have been foam rolling for years but constantly wished it was a bit firmer. Lately I have been rolling out with a barbell but it’s pretty uncomfortable as one can imagine. This foam roller is the perfect medium. I have dense muscle so I can’t say how this would feel for thinner people but for me as a D1 football athlete 6’2 210lbs it’s perfect.

I wish the bumps on it were harder, still more firm then the standard version. Overall satisfying but they need a tougher more intense one.

I really did not like this when I first purchased it. The knobs aren't flexible rubber at all and it really hurt to lay on it. BUT, I am so glad I stuck with it. My back soon adjusted to the pressure and I use it everyday, sometimes twice. It really helps relieve the tension that builds up from sitting at a desk all day. I've used the softer foam rollers since buying this deep-tissue massage roller and they seem worthless to me now. THIS one is definitely getting in there and harpin on those tight muscles. I recommend!

For athletes looking for that extra trigger point while foam rolling - this is it! It hurts at all the right spots. I have a regular older version of TriggerPoint foam roller and I use that as first touch, then move on to the Carbon Deep Tissue roller. No Regrets! worth every penny.

Very good quality and firm roller. Great for calves and quads. Recommended.

Great roller. Hard but effective

Soy entrenador de lev. De pesas desde hace mas de 20 años y soy fisioterapeuta, este rodillo de masaje es fantastico para deportistas experimentados que requieren recuperacion muscular, este rodillo de textura rigida es idoneo para una buena recuperacion despues de sesion de crosfit,halterofilia,culturismo. Para antes y despues de entrenar deben de saber que el rodillo al ser de textura rigida dolera su uso pero les garantizo que funciona muy bien.

Wie alle Rollen von Triggerpoint ist auch diese hier sehr hochwertig und stabil. Die Oberflächenstrukturen sind "biestig" und gehen tief ins Gewebe hinein. Daher ist diese Rolle nicht geeignet für "Faszien-Rollen-Anfänger", aber fortgeschrittene Anwender und Sportler werden diese Rolle definitiv lieben!
