R8 Plus Roller
Women's Health US
|September 2022
This go-deep massager is a revelation for recovery.
LOW AND SLOW IS THE WAY TO GO
While it's tempting to speed-massage right off the bat, when you first use the R8, start at a low intensity and a controlled pace to ensure you're working it over an area long and deeply enough without causing discomfort.
VITAL VERSATILITY
Good news: There's no need to lie on the floor as you might with a roller stick or cylinder. (I love to sit or stand with it.) And you can take this portable device wherever you go, as it weighs only a few pounds.
