Why Rollga?
Rollga is a contoured foam roller designed to reach and target muscles with greater precision and pressure than any other roller. The unique, patented design of the Rollga is equipped with bumps that target and dig deeper into muscles, significantly enhancing muscle release. The Rollga Design also enables the spine, bones, and tendons to drop into grooves, preventing compression, damage, or bruising. The Rollga foam roller is ideal for improving flexibility, reducing muscle soreness, and back and neck massage.
Our entire body is consumed with connective tissue called Fascia. Just like anything in our body, connective tissue degenerates and breaks down over time. The degeneration of fascia can be accelerated with repetitive overuse, stress, or injury. Rollga is a high-quality foam roller that brings regeneration to damaged tissue by influencing the circulation of oxygen-rich blood flow. Rollga prevents fascia from becoming unhealthy, and by restoring your fascia, you restore your mobility.
