In the last year, I&#8217;ve started learning the art of foam rolling. I began using an inexpensive 3-foot roller that works well. However, it&#8217;s cumbersome and impossible to travel with. I had no idea there are shorter foam rollers until a couple months ago when my physical therapist recommended one. Today, this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B01LW755GP\/cooltools-20\">13-inch roller<\/a> is the only one I use &#8212; at home, at my office, wherever. This particular model isn&#8217;t cheap, but it&#8217;s well worth it. The textured foam patterns are helpful for working out especially tough knots. Most importantly, this roller is hollow instead of solid foam, so I can stuff the inside with socks and save space in my travel duffel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/11\/81K7hSqaaRL._SL1500_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/11\/81K7hSqaaRL._SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"81K7hSqaaRL._SL1500_\" width=\"680\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/11\/81K7hSqaaRL._SL1500_.jpg 680w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/11\/81K7hSqaaRL._SL1500_-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relief for tight muscles, knots, and kinks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30077"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30077"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30080,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30077\/revisions\/30080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
