BLACKROLL® MED FOAM ROLLER – Soft Foam Roller NZ
Why Choose the BLACKROLL® MED?
- 20% softer than the BLACKROLL® STANDARD
- Perfect for beginners and people with high pain sensitivity
- Ideal for therapeutic and rehabilitation use
The BLACKROLL® MED is a soft foam roller designed for gentle self-myofascial release, making it an excellent option for beginners, rehabilitation, or anyone who prefers a less intense massage experience.
Gentle Muscle Release & Improved Mobility
With 20% lower hardness than the STANDARD roller, the BLACKROLL® MED allows for a softer, more controlled massage while still supporting muscular elasticity, circulation, and everyday mobility.
It is commonly used in therapeutic settings and is especially suitable for people with lower body weight or increased sensitivity, while still remaining effective as a foam roller for the back, neck, legs, and full-body use.
Designed for Beginners & Therapeutic Applications
The MED foam roller is ideal for those new to foam rolling, recovering from injury, or managing muscle tension with a gentler approach. Its softer density reduces discomfort while allowing consistent pressure across muscles and connective tissue.
Many users choose the MED as a starting point before progressing to a firmer roller such as the BLACKROLL® STANDARD Foam Roller.
Benefits of the BLACKROLL® MED Foam Roller
The versatile design of this soft foam roller makes it suitable for a wide range of recovery and movement needs, helping to:
- Increase and maintain muscular elasticity and performance
- Support correct loading patterns
- Counteract postural strain
- Help prevent strain-related sports injuries
- Support targeted muscle regeneration
- Release adhesions in connective tissue (fascia)
Full Body Application
The BLACKROLL® MED can be used across most areas of the body, including legs, calves, hips, glutes, back, shoulders, arms, and neck. Its softer density makes it particularly suitable for sensitive areas and controlled rehabilitation work.
For more precise trigger point release, the MED foam roller can be complemented with the BLACKROLL® Ball.
