As you roll over the top of the Thunder Roller, the bumps continuously knead the contours of your body, gently stretching soft tissue (muscle and fascia) in multiple directions. This action erodes trigger points, helps restore flexibility, and brings quick relief to common types of muscular pain. By design, our thunder roller bumps are firmer than muscle tissue but much softer than bone, therefore they deflect out of the way if they contact your spine or other bony protrusions. Through simple techniques, you can control the amount of pressure the bumps apply to your body. The bumps are closely spaced to one another (\u0026lt;50mm Apart) so several of them simultaneously contact your body during most exercises. However, with a slight shift of your body, you can reduce your area of contact with the Thunder Roller, which increases pressure and provides deeper, more penetrating relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i1374.photobucket.com\/albums\/ag435\/chrisc39\/thunder-roller-bumps_zpsgqsjirf0.jpg\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/i1374.photobucket.com\/albums\/ag435\/chrisc39\/thunder-roller-bumps_zpsgqsjirf0.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdd Another Dimension to Your Foam Roller Program\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thunder Roller's massaging action can be intensified further by changing your movement from a back-and-forth rolling motion to a side-to-side rocking motion. That's because the Thunder Roller's bumps have an asymmetrical shape that allows them to flex more easily in one direction. During rolling movements (i.e. the most common roller exercises, with the roller moving beneath you), the bumps flex relatively easily and provide a wiping-type massage pressure. However, if you rock from side-to-side toward the RumbleRoller's ends, the bumps are forced to flex in a direction in which they're designed to be somewhat stiffer. This creates a deeper \"digging\" pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis rocking technique nearly doubles the number of ways you can use a foam roller. It's especially effective for penetrating dense tissue like that of your calves, as well as hard-to-roll areas like your upper lats and even your neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i1374.photobucket.com\/albums\/ag435\/chrisc39\/thunder-roller-rollamprock_zpsjscew6fn.jpg\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/i1374.photobucket.com\/albums\/ag435\/chrisc39\/thunder-roller-rollamprock_zpsjscew6fn.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStrong and Durable\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thunder Rollers smooth, nonporous surface repels most dirt.
