ROLL Recovery is a leader in the recovery and athletic performance space and an innovator of deep tissue massage therapy tools. They have a unique line of massage tools that are great for pre/post-ride routine, helping increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation and break up muscle adhesions. We can kick start the multifaceted recovery process by spending just a few minutes post-ride doing some self soft tissue mobilization and light stretching.
ROLL Recovery’s flagship product, the R8 Plus, is an excellent addition to any athlete’s recovery toolbox.
The new R8 Plus (MSRP $169) massage muscle roller encompasses a patented, hidden mechanism in the frame that features an adjustment dial, reducing or increasing the massage force needed for the perfect feel.
The R8 Plus targets the IT bands, quads, hamstrings, calves, shins, glutes, and arms and can be used while standing (in a trailhead parking lot). It’s perfect for warming muscles before taking off on a ride and then flushing them out after a day on the bike.
Thoughts => The R8 Plus would be ideal at the end of a long day of riding when wore out muscles need some recovery and massage. There have been so many days my legs felt tight, inflamed, and hurting, and resorting to knee-high compression socks doesn’t entirely reive the issues. The R8 Plus will allow you to deep tissue massage your upper and lower legs, getting the blood flowing, fluid in the muscles, and breaking up tight adhesions.
