Product Description
Easily and Efficiently Target Any Area Calves How to Use on Calves
In order to do this exercise, you need to size the Rolflex a little bit wider. Once you have the therapy arm adjusted and clamped onto your calf, ensure that you have the ability to flex and point your foot. After you begin rolling and once you find a good spot, squeeze harder. Find the trigger point, and begin to flex and point your foot again.

Forearms How to Use on Forearms
To use on the forearms, you want to resize the Rolflex to the third or fourth position so that there’s enough room to fit your arm between the two rollers. The yellow roller should be on the extensors, which are located on the back of the forearm. Instead of moving the Rolflex, move your arm back and forth whilst resting the base of the Rolflex on your thigh. When you find the tender spot, apply more pressure by squeezing the handles. Be sure to flex and extend your arm back and forth.

Thighs How to Use on Thighs
Start off by adding the handle extender to the black roller side. With the Rolflex in the fourth or fifth position, clamp it onto your thigh so that the black roller is underneath and the colored roller is on top. When rolling the device, be sure to rotate it to ensure all areas of the quad are being covered; from medial, to central, to lateral. The active release therapy is the most beneficial part of the exercise, so bend and extend the knee when you find those tight spots and knots.

Elbows How to Use on Elbows
Set the adjustment channel into the third or fourth position and place the stabilizing base on your thigh. Place your arm through the Rolflex with the black rollers on your elbow, and maintain constant pressure as you move your arm back and forth. You can also use the device so that the colored roller is on the elbow. When you have the Rolflex in position, bend and straighten your arm. Alternatively, you can twist your wrist whilst moving your arm through the device.
Feet How to Use on Feet
Put the Rolflex into the first or second adjustment channel. Starting with the top of the foot, place the centre of the colored roller between the metatarsal bones. Squeeze and roll the device all the way to the tips of the toes. Slowly work back and forth, and switch between each toe, all the way up to the ankle. When you find a trigger point, apply pressure and actively flex and extend the toes around the pressure. You want to apply just enough pressure that it feels like a solid stretch.
Fast, Simple, Effective. Follow our 3 simple steps whenever you need relief
Locate your pain – Start by rolling the Rolflex over your muscles to identify tender spots, also known as knots.Apply and maintain pressure – Place the center ridge of the yellow therapy roller on the knot. Squeeze the handles to apply pressure on the muscle. Slight discomfort here is a sign that you are on the knot.Floss the muscle – While maintaining pressure on that knot, start stretching the muscle. This would be moving your hand if the sore spot is on your forearm.
How does the Rolflex work?
The arms of the Rolflex (with the yellow foam roller on one side and the dual stability rollers on the other) allow you to comfortably deliver leveraged compression on a targeted area (kind of like a nut cracker for your muscles and fascia).
Is the Rolflex yellow foam roller hard or soft?
The Rolflex comes with a firm yellow foam roller which is rated a 60 out of 80 on the Asker foam hardness scale (it’s a firm density foam which has a little give and provides a deep massage). Softer or harder accessory rollers are available.
Can I use the Rolflex if I have really large arms, calves or legs?
The Rolflex can be adjusted to fit the smallest or largest arms and legs; and the Rolflex includes an extension handle to accommodate using the Rolflex on your upper legs or large calves or arms.
What’s the difference between the Rolflex and the Rolflex Rollit?
The difference between the Rolflex and the Rollit is that the Rollit has one roller arm and is designed for use on your neck, shoulders and lower back; while the Rolflex has two roller arms and works great on your arms, legs, and more.

An actual life-saver… first review I’ve ever felt compelled to write because it’s just that great.
4 weeks ago, I was doing pull-ups and immediately felt a stinging sensation in my inner elbow. I thought it would go away after 1-2 days, but it persisted. After browsing the internet, I realized I had golfer’s elbow. 1 week passes, and I start to panic because in 2 weeks, I was scheduled to go to bootcamp and it was extremely important my whole body was fully functional and healthy. I read that golfer’s elbow often takes 2-12 months to cure. I was devastated.Then, I found this Rolflex product. Admittedly, I was doubtful that it could help me, but out of desperation, I decided to make the purchase. This would prove to be one of the best decisions I ever made this year.With bootcamp just 1.5 weeks out, I decided to use the product to work on my elbow. After 3 days of following instructions of how to properly use it (I used both the instruction manual and YouTube videos), I found that the pain from my golfer’s elbow had subsided by about 90%. I am seriously in shock.I’ve read online that I may have to get steroid injections, visit a physical therapist, or rest for half a year. These were options I just simply could not do at this time. Rolflex seriously helped me keep my elbow in good health and allowed me to keep my job.*It’s worth noting that it is very important to carefully read the instructions and watch some YouTube videos of the Rolflex. For the first 2 days, I just kind of winged it, and I ended up aggravating the pain more. However, after following proper instructions, the pain disappeared very quickly afterward.Thank you for making this product so easy to use and actually something that is effective! I will forever be an ambassador for this brand and product.

Great, but not perfect
The current version of Rolflex does not have the detachable arm and you don’t get the long strap.According to Rolflex, the decision was due to not enough people were using it separately and the arm falls out too easily at the widest adjustment notch.Depending on your flexibility you can still use it on your traps by treating the main arm + extension handle as a long strap.The included yellow roller is a good jack of all trades that’s soft enough to act as a foam roller while also hard enough to focus on trigger point if you clamp down hard.I bought the orange contoured roller separately and it’s MUCH better for precise trigger point work with less effort.I may buy the other rollers (green oval and yellow knobble) later, but right now I feel the yellow and orange contoured rollers covered all my need.Pros:- Probably the best device, along with the Armaid, on the market for tennis elbow, computer elbow in my case.- Sturdy and versatile, I have not seen a single report of it breaking.- Easy to change rollers, very little strength required unlike one of the reviews suggests.Cons:- It really need another 2 or 3 notches of adjustments for leg work.- The device adds leverage but not THAT much leverage, I don’t really feel it can bring enough pressure (comfortably) to do flushing work for tight muscles.- The “T” handles are slightly awkward and kind of uncomfortable to hold due to the center arm being very wide with sharp sides.- Length adjustment for the extension handle is slow and based on trial and error, esp. with the nylon cords having a bit of a stretch to it.- A little pricey.

It really does work well…but it is not designed for small hands
This really does release and relieve muscle and tendon issues! Quickly. The only issue is that it’s made for large hands to hold the item together while rolling. If you have small hands (ie. Female hands), it is awkward. The extension included technically helps, but you can tell it’s an afterthought that doesn’t work well. If they designed it to accommodate more of the population, this would be a fantastic tool! I still recommend it, even if it’s tough to clench it together.

Best purchase experience I’ve ever had! (Yes the product is great as well)
If you’re like me, you’ve likely noticed the extreme degradation of almost every company and employee on the planet as the newer generation of phone slave disconnected robots enter the workforce. Mistakes are no big deal, communication is terrible, accountability is zero. Everyone is a winner…. Yes I’m more so the glass half empty kind of guy so please pay the MOST attention to the following:I had an issue with the product I received BUT the issue was 100% my fault and my responsibility. So one of my dogs decided that a component from the product looked like a perfectly good chew toy and basically destroyed the small piece. Oh well, no big deal. I contacted Rolflex and informed them of the situation and asked if I could just purchase a replacement for the small part. I absolutely despise when people are dishonest for the sake of obtaining something for free because I firmly believe there is a chain effect to every action each one of us takes which has a greater weight than our short term thinking usually allows.This company went ABOVE AND BEYOND to the highest degree to accommodate me. I was literally so blown away that I ran over to my wife to tell her she had to see the follow up I had received regarding my inquiry. I mean I was shocked, this company was so selfless that they actually trumped any customer experience I’d ever had. Even including ones in the good old days. I can’t remember if I’ve even ever left a review for anything I’ve ever bought on Amazon in all the years I have been a member but I felt absolutely obligated to leave Rolflex a review.Companies like this need to thrive. They need to be the norm, and they absolutely set a gold standard for others to follow. Why is this so important? because they will always try their best which is an absolute rarity today. So take that same consideration and apply it to a product….You get the point.As for the product I have used it several times with great results. I bought it mainly to relieve aching joints and muscle tissue that never seemed to release tension. I work on heavy off road construction equipment for a living and also weight train heavily outside of work. I am constantly being battered. I never used to notice much pain from these activities but now that I’m approaching 40, yaaaa definitely not superman anymore. I also find that is great for stretching certain muscles that are tough to reach through normal stretching routines. I don’t think that the stretching is an advertised perk of the Rolflex but in my case it does help.It is a seemingly expensive product. But if you consider the research, design, and liability that comes along with creating a product like this, it’s actually a pretty good deal. Rolflex is also a small business and I fully appreciate supporting them. I am excited to see what other products they will develop in the future. They are also clearly trying harder than most other companies out there to ensure they put out a good product and maintain strong customer loyalty. You just can’t beat that and in most cases even find it these days.Lastly, my strongest suggestion would be to READ the instructions and WATCH the videos pertaining to ANY type of muscle or joint you are trying to alleviate. Yes, it’s possible you can make things worse but Rolflex is providing all the resources you need to prevent doing so. I mainly added this last part in because I had read some reviews where people had complained that using the Rolflex made this or that worse.Hint: It wasn’t the fault of the product. I have had no issues what so ever when using this product for it’s intentions and in accordance with instructions.Thank you to infinity Rolfex for all of your top notch consideration!!! You’ve created a forever customer through a single transaction which is in my opinion a feat to brag about 🙂

Una manna per i polpacci. Può essere usato anche come massaggiatore “a matterello” Non lo vedo bene invece per le altre parti del corpo, dove il classico foam roller é meglio.

Ich habe schon einige Jahre den blauen Armaid für die Unterarme, mit dem ich sehr zufrieden war. Aus Interesse habe ich mir nun auch den Rolflex gekauft. Er ist in der Handhabung und Wirkung dem Armaid ganz ähnlich (ist ja auch vom selben Konstrukteur!). Aber der Rolflex ist etwas handlicher und bequemer in der Anwendung und vielseitiger einsetzbar, da man ihn auch an den Beinen und auseinandergebaut in Verbindung mit dem Verlängerungsband auch im Rücken/Nacken-Bereich gut einsetzbar ist. Gerade den oberen Trapezius kann man gut damit ausrollen, ein Bereich, den ich sonst nur schwer erreiche (z.B. mit einem Lacrosseball, einer Blackroll oder dem Budybackbuddy). Besonders funktional ist die Doppelrolle beim RolflexPro! Damit kann man auch sehr bequem über die Gelenke im Ellenbogen- und Kniebereich rollen, ohne dass der Rolflex “abrutscht” oder “ruckartig” rollt. Eine sehr clevere Erweiterung im Vergleich zum Armaid. Die hochwertigen Rollen aus EVA finde ich auch etwas besser als die extrem harten und kleinen Rollen beim Armaid. Für tief liegende Trigger-Punkte im Unterarm ist der Armaid klasse. Für eine generelle Massage, die durchaus “ran geht”, finde ich den Rolflex besser. Ich habe mir zu der grünen (etwas weicheren) und beiliegenden gelben Rolle (mittlere Härte, vergleichbar mit der Blackroll) auch die orange-rote Rolle gekauft. Die ist aber sehr hart und geht tief ins Gewebe. Der Rolflex ist hochwertig verarbeitet und der Kunststoff ist sehr robust (wie auch der Armaid), der Gummifuß besteht aus einem dicken, hochwertigen Gummi, der auch auf einer Tischplatte oder an der Wand eine gute Haftung aufweist. Ich bin ein großer Fan derartiger Selbst-Massage-Tools und kann den Rolflex sehr empfehlen. Wer sich zwischen dem Armaid und dem Rolflex entscheiden muss, dem würde ich den Rolflex in der Pro-Version mit der Doppelrolle empfehlen!

製品は気に入って使っています。『5種類のフォームローリングツール セット』の表記は間違かな?それらしいものは付属していません。本体以外には太い部位用に延長する用途のベルトは入っていましたけど、それだけでした。

It seemed a bit expensive when I ordered it, but it has surpassed all expectations. I have been struggling with tennis elbow for months and after a couple of weeks of using this daily, the condition has improved significantly.Easy to use and very adaptable.
