or is she Mrs Galton?

Si, you might find a golf ball and a softball useful for the upper back, shoulder, scapula area. Use either standing against a wall and ball between you and it or on the ground. The golf ball is excellent at reaching places foam rollers just can't.

Thanks Scott - would you recommend a Titlest 1 or should I go with another brand?

we all know you're broad Simon... and long as well so I understand

Only two quid more for the larger one on that site so still not bad... i may get one actually, could be quite beneficial.

Nice link GB

Good find GB

Used the roller yesterday on my lower and upper back, plus my calves, seemed to release some tension. I've just ordered a 7cm spikey ball for use on my shoulders

I managed to force my shoulders down onto the roller and I think I may have released some of the tension from them as the pain in my right shoulder is subsiding.

It's early days yet, but I do think the roller has some very positive benefits already.
