Hey all
Just wondering if any UK based Foam Roller users know of a good place to pick one up for a good price? I'm asking because I've noticed a few people insist you pick up a "firm" or "firmest" roller you can find... not many sites grade how firm their rollers are!
Also, while on the subject - anyone know what you can do to work on an area just outside of your scapula, a couple of inches left of the spine.
Cheers!

I bought this one from Amazon -

Nice and hard and lasted a good while. Only now just getting soft and i bought it nearly a year ago. For your area just next to your spine you need a tennis ball. Lean against a wall with the ball between you and the wall, hug your self to protract your shoulder blades and lean into the wall. From there just roll around finding the painful spots. It will be sore, make no mistake.

I just use a swiss ball mat with a can of shaving gel rolled up inside it, seems to work ok.
