OPTP Pro Foam Rollers - Full Round 36" x 6" Blue Marble Review

OPTP Pro Foam Rollers - Full Round 36' x 6' Blue MarbleThe blue marble and green marble OPTP foam rollers are the best that I have found. They are worth the money, most of the other products out there are too soft for effective use and wear down quickly. My gym has this type of roller for member use and I had to buy one for home. I run and work out daily and when I thought I pulled something in my knee a trainer asked me if I rolled out all my muscle groups in my legs. When I rolled out the leg with the troubled knee, I felt the tension release and my knee has been fine since. Tight muscles contribute to all kinds of strain and injuries. If you work out at any level, you should own a high-density foam roller. Rolling out your muscles has more health benefits that I can list in this review, but bottom line- you will feel better, it helps prevent injury and is much better than simple streching.

KT TAPE Professional Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape - 240 Inch Pre-Cut Roll Review

KT TAPE Professional Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape - 240 Inch Pre-Cut RollI purchased this tape after hearing that it was a miracle worker for athletic injuries and so many athletes/olympians used it.That was my first mistake!I have an ITB injury on my knee so i was hoping this would ease pain during running.I watched the application video on [...] at least 20 times, and the tape around my knee looked exactly like it did on the video.Mistake #2 is that i was applying the tape myself.In all of the videos a physical therapist (or model posing as one) is applying it to another person.So I may have actually applied it wrong because I had to do it myself and in many cases the person was laying down on their side, so doing it that way alone is tough!My biggest issue with this tape is that the instructions say it can stay on your skin up to 5 days...well you know what?!It didn't stay on for more than 5 minutes once I went out for my run!I really think companies should be held accountable for advertising their products to the average consumer, when maybe a physical therapist really should be the only one using this.With improper use I'm sure injuries could actually become worse.I am going to put this to the test again on my next run since I now have an entire roll to use, but my first impression is awful.
