If you're a cyclist then you know very well how your legs can feel after hammering out an intense session. All the accumulation of blood lactate in the muscle can give you a serious case of DOMs (delayed onset muscle soreness). After training, inflammation and muscle stiffness occurs. One of the fastest ways to recover is with massage. Until most recently, most cyclists just either foam rolled or used air compression boots for recovery. While those are good and viable options, there is one weird tool that is setting the standard in self massage recovery.
Just to set the record straight... It will never ever replace the hands of a skilled massage therapist. However, when daily professional massage is not a feasible option (that's most of us) you can rely on a very specific tool that enhances circulation and provides immediate relief. This tool takes the 'work' out of rolling, provides deep tissue work that you can do standing, sitting or laying down. You no longer have to roll on the floor and get dirty and become a dog hair magnet.
This one tool that every cyclist should own is the R8 Recovery roller (see below).
When you use this tool you can sleep easy at night knowing that you are recovering like a Pro so you can smash out another session the next day.
