I use them all the time. I've got a pillow one with two ****so-style rollers that go around in place and I use that thing on absolutely everything - feet, arches, calves, achilles, ab muscles, back, ribs, buttocks, neck, upper shoulders, arms, hands, you name it. I have it under my right thigh as I write. Costs about
$32 or so. Got this last one at Walgreens but they sell them all over or orderable on amazon. I also have a chair-style one of my husband's we got on amazon - you've probably seen them too, looks like a chair pad. We paid $139? I think but it has rollers that will go straight up and down which you can move out or in incrementally and it is just freaking awesome on your back/ribs and it also has the ****so-style rollers as well. I use it in both my recliner and I will lie on it on the floor for a real peaceful, wonderful massage, being moved without having to do a thing. I wouldn't want to do Fibro without them. I've broken triggerpoints with these and loosened the knots, ropes and bands. Good luck! (Just so ya know, it is not painless but sometimes through pain comes great relief.)
***Sorry...didn't realize that was some trademark or something or you can't promote stuff which I wasn't intending to hence the '-style' or the language editor thought I was swearing? Don't know. It's been years since I read the regs for posting here...it's those rollers that go around...begins with an 'S' (lol)
