Foam rollers and massage balls are great tools for runners to release tension and prevent injury. You can use them before the gym, at home in front of the television or before or after a race.

Check out some of the best tools below to get that deep tissue release.

LuxFit Premium High Density Foam

This roller is simple but effective. A long, hard roller so you can stretch on your larger muscle groups and apply a lot of pressure. The synthetic material does not stick to your bare skin or pull out hairs as you apply pressure and roll. Although it is very hard, the LuxFit is also very light. If you get one of the shorter rollers it is great to pack in your bag if you’re travelling far away for a race, but still want to roll.
