ChirpWheel Foam Roller - Targeted Back Foam Roller for Back Pain Relief, Deep Tissue Muscle Massage, Trigger Point Round High Density Foam Roller for Physical Therapy & Exercise, 3-Pack Mint

I will be brutally honest on this review. I initially had given it 4 stars for the overall rating, but I changed it to 5. Here is why...I initially was only going to order the smallest Chirp Wheel for deep tissue but ended up ordering all 3 sizes of the Chirp Wheel from Amazon. At first I was slightly disappointed. As I used the small size wheel first it was much sturdier than any foam roller and perfect for me. I also tried the other 2 larger sizes, but loved the smaller one the best of all 3. You can definitely tell there is a greater stretch and popping for the back with the products than your traditional roller as it targets specifically the vertebrae and muscles along your back and neck. Though at first I was comparing it to the relief of a chiropractic adjustment and there were not too many pops or release of the air pockets of gas along that area.The medium and larger wheel are great as well for a different range of stretching but due to weight training for years I had packed on some decent muscle size to my back. So I needed something firmer and just needed to get in deeper. The smallest one was just the right one. I started using it for about 3 minutes, twice a day and already now in 2 weeks each and every day I feel the muscles getting much more loose, the popping sounds (which I love the sounds, but love the relief even more) are much more. I just did not know how tense the muscles were. I was judging a book by it's cover. But I feel more relaxed and adjusted.I was actually pretty bummed that I felt that purchasing the other 2 wheel sizes was not worth it at least for me, but you know what they both ended up being perfect. Though I still use it from time to time, I was being selfish and thinking how this would benefit me. My mother who is 66 years of age is now using the medium size wheel, as the smallest is too strong for her and the biggest one doesnt give her the stretch she wants. As for the biggest wheel, my dad who is 70 years old loves it too. He has fractured his T3 and T4 vertebrae from a previous accident and has been in several serious car accidents in the past with a steel plate in his hip, shoulder, and right leg. This one is perfect for him and now we religiously use it 1 to 2 times a day. You can pretty much say it's a story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears but with Chirp Wheels.Wrapping this up what really was amazing was not only the product, but the company as well. A day before I made this purchase I was comparing and debating to pick up the product from the website gochirp.com or from Amazon (primarily from the shipping times with Amazon Prime I was leaning this direction). I did a mock up cart on the website, but went with Amazon with the purchase. About a week later I received an email from the Founder and CEO of Chirp, Tate. I thought it was a generic email that I had items in the cart from the website order that I mocked up, asking if there is anything they can do to answer questions regarding my pending order and offering a 15% discount code. So I replied to the email for fun since I already ordered the day before, but was surprised to get a response back.The CEO of Chirp Wheel and I were communicating via email and I might say a few hours response times between our conversation emails back and forth and not days. I informed him that I already placed the order through Amazon and it came in but was happy and also slightly disappointed regarding the purchase of all 3 wheels instead of the smaller one I was leaning for. Mr. Tate ended up sending me a few links for Youtube videos on how to do different and proper stretching using the wheels. Which I must say was very helpful for the different sized wheels. Just a simple reach out like this makes everything better to ensure that the CEO and the company Chirp, not only care about their products but also about their customers.Thank you for providing your products to consumers like me and many others and continue to reach out to your customers with support and relief, literally.Jason

These are amazing! I know they look rudimentary but I am dumbfounded.I have been a nurse for 20 years, worked in family restaurants and have 3 kids ( one who is special needs). I have a long history of poor body mechanics which have caused chronic back, hip, shoulder and neck pain. I've tried everything with no relief.I saw these and skeptically ordered them.It did take bit to learn which wheel worked best for which part of my back, but after a couple of used I'm hooked.I use them every morning and my joints loosen up ready for a long day of all the above mentioned. At the end of the day if something is hurting I use them again and sleep much better.If you want a non-pharmaceutical treatment for back pain try these for sure

I ordered the 3-Pack as in reading the product description I truly could not decide which size would be best for me. I also viewed several YouTube videos; searching for non-sponsored, honest reviews, before purchasing. I'm glad I did both these things as upon first use I know after reading reviews and viewing these videos, it's going to take time to get used to using the Chirp Wheel products.Upon unboxing, I tested out the flexion in each wheel before using them and noted that there is a bit of flex and that at 155 pounds I should not break them anytime soon. Time will tell how durable they are with frequent use. I did have concerns after reading all the reviews of cracked wheels but decided to gamble on them anyway.My first impression is that the Chirp Wheels are made to flex a bit more than I expected. The padding is minimal, so you're basically going to roll on a hard surface.I have fibromyalgia, so the pain I experienced using all three sizes may be different than you will experience. I got a few cracks on my first round of using it, but I didn't use it longer than 5 minutes due to the pain I experienced. I think some folks will be like me and have to work up to 10 minutes.I have a foam roller, and the wheels hit a different area of the back right along the spine. I like the channel for the spine and it does make it more comfortable to roll. Pressure increases the smaller the wheel, so start with the largest wheel to get used to it. That wheel is also the easiest to roll up on to.I like the concept and I will be sharing my set of Chirp wheels with my family to see what they think. I'll update the review after a few weeks of use. I really think you have to be consistent with use and work your way up to getting the most benefits from this product.

This is one that we have at work and it help roll the tension out out my back muscles. So I bought this set to use at home! Sure glad I did!

Great relief

Has been great for stretching out my back in the mornings before work

I purchased this Chirp-Trio because of a link I found on another website that really puffed it up. I don't know what the hype is all about. I purchased an Amazon foam roller for 1/4 of the price and it serves a great purpose. While the Chirp roller has a foam exterior - it is very thin and does not offer enough cush to the green hardshell interior. Overall this item does not offer any relief for me. A great sub and budget buy is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XM2MRGI?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4&th=1

A great addition to a home gym to help with stretching. The different sizes help with stretching different parts of the body. it is very durable and firm. i like that it stacks nicely within each other so that it does not take up too much space. It is also very lightweight to move around the house.
