This patented, uniquely designed, resilient, durable ‘two-in-one’ foam roller is one of the most versatile foam rollers available. While its rounder side increases roller movement, its flatter side decreases movement.
With the flatter side down, it can be sat on and stood on for balance related movements. Placing the rounder side down provides a more challenging, dynamic workout.
In addition to functioning as a therapeutic aid for rehabilitation and balance training, the SMARTROLLER® foam roller can be used as an exercise prop for a variety of disciplines, including Yoga, Pilates and Feldenkrais®.
Dr. Feldenkrais, a physicist and martial artist, originally introduced the foam roller to assist sensory motor learning and to promote higher states of body awareness. Building upon his ideas, the SMARTROLLER delivers an improved integrated experience to deepen motor learning.
The SMARTROLLER® can be cleaned with dishwashing detergent or laundry detergent and a wet cloth.
Approximate measurements: 36″ Length x 6″ Width x 4″ Height.
Position the foam roller with the rounder side down for greater instability.

Great with Seniors!
Many of my over 55 students have issues with balance and comfort when on a foam roller. They LOVE the Smart Rollers bc they are lower profile, so more comfortable for issues with shoulders, elbows or shorter arms; the Smart Roller’s "aircraft carrier" shape provides the option of varying stability/challenge; and Smart Rollers are just more comfortable than any other roller. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to use them for fascial-release. They are not cylindrical, so the body cannot complete a full rolling motion against them; but there has to be a way. Right?
Carole, Physical Therapist, Feldenkrais Practitioner –
I am a physical therapist, a yoga teacher and a feldenkrais practitioner. I had heard of this smart roller but it wasn’t until I received one as a gift that I experienced it first hand. I am now ordering the links and the sitting tools to optimize all the treatments that I can think of to do with this roller. It’s not too firm and it’s not too soft. The ability to have it roll or be more stable makes for creative problem solving ideas. I lay on it and my back melts. I am excited to use the links to use for lumbo-pelvic mobility and education. It’s simple but genius. The book is also very well illustrated with great ideas and it’s easy to read. Carole DPT

An essential piece of equipment
I have been using the SmartRoller for five years. It has improved my posture, made me more limber, and erases back pain when I have it. It stretches me gently but with great effectiveness. This is a revolutionary and really wonderful product that has made a huge difference in my quality of life.

A Comfortable Roller
I use the Smartroller all the time and recommend it to my clients. It is not unusual for me to hear from them, "I use it every day". I love to lie on it because you can feel your spine lengthen and be comfortable in the process, which has not been the case for me with normal foam rollers. The curved edge that makes stability easy is a big plus, you can focus on micro-movements happening internally without working so hard to balance. The comfort and balance make for more time to learn how to move with ease. I highly recommend owning one.

Perfect Fit!
The SmartRoller is the perfect fit for my back. I have a birth defect that bothers my neck and shoulder on one side of my body. The SmartRoller fits perfectly against my spine. My shoulders can fall open without getting hung up on the roller. It is really much better than a foam roller just cut in half. The gentle rocking is also very soothing and allows for greater relief of my neck and shoulder. I have been doing it almost everyday after I brought it home! I also like doing balance challenges sitting on the roller. I am positive it will help me be an awesome surfer at 52!!!! I can’t wait to use it with my clients!

Wobble-Fun!
The SmartRoller is much more comfortable to lie on, but without taking away any of the effects of instability, than traditional rollers! My favorite 2 activities with the Roller?? — Rolling up to sit, holding on to a leg, and trying not to fall off!!!! — Standing on the roller when I am using my iPad at a high counter. I love to play with the challenges of moving through space (arms, legs, head, torso), while staying balanced (i.e. not falling) and being able to breathe! It is SO different from doing it on a stable floor, and I feel the benefits throughout the whole of my torso. (Not to mention to continual brain surprises). Bravo Stacy!
