I don't have a soft foam roll at home, just a hard one. After working with Ando, forum member JKL came up with the idea of wrapping a yoga mat around our hard foam rolls. I may try this or a may just buy a soft one. I'm only doing the rib stuff at therapy for the time being. I'm thinking once Dr. Ando gets me fully aligned, I can maintain by just doing the foam rolls and yamuna at home. They don't want me doing any weight stuff until my ribs, joints, and nerves are properly aligned and stretched.

I believe TOS causes bad posture in at least some cases and not the other way around as many would have you believe. |
Hi, the hard roller with the yoga mat is still too hard especially on the breast area. I ordered the soft roll (pink one) from
www.protherapysupplies.com/ it was $ 35 they offer free shipping or
www.optp.com/ is the manufacturer,but no free shipping.
I just received it Friday and have used it 3 times,it is much better. Also you can use a small weight ball with sand in it instead,I bought a box with two of these and a large pilates ball at Ross Dress For Less. you just have to move it around more. i also bought from Dr. Ando's office: a Karate belt for scalene side neck streches and a ball on a stick for trigger pt massage.
They really do help!
