As someone who has very tight hamstrings and hip flexors I love foam rolling to work out knots, pressure points, etc., but it can be a bit of a pain because you always have to get down on the floor and devote probably a half an hour (or more) to doing it, in order to really have it be effective. This is something that you can use for a few minutes at a time, it is small enough to take pretty much anywhere, and you can get the same kind of benefit you can get from a full-sized foam roller. Like with foam rolling, it will probably be uncomfortable the first few times you use it, but the more you do, the better you will feel. It is mostly for use on the legs and hips (because those are really the only areas you are going to be able to use it on yourself very effectively) but if you have someone else around to help you, it can also be effective on your back and arms. I definitely recommend it.
