Frequently asked questions
Is the OPTP PFR36B firm or soft?
Firmness is not explicitly stated in the listing. OPTP rollers in the PFR line are generally medium to firm density. Verify on the Amazon product page or the OPTP website before purchasing.
Does the 6-inch size work for a full-body rolling routine?
A 6-inch roller works well for targeted areas such as calves, IT bands, upper back, and hamstrings. For full-length back rolling or wider coverage, a 36-inch roller would be more practical.
