The Magical Foam Roller
I cannot say enough great things about the foam roller. It really loosens me up, and, combined with regular stretching, keeps me injury free. I never realized that overuse injuries could be so effectively staved off by simply keeping your tendons, ligaments, and muscles pliable.
I'm going to link you to the blogger from whom I first heard about foam rolling. She did an exhaustive explanation, with pics, of the value of the roller:

One of these days I'm going to get brave and get the scary one, with knobs on it. Right now I just use the very firm smooth roller, which hurts-so-good enough already!

Thanks for this information. I always live with a few kinks in my legs and knees and could probably do with one of these.

I have used a foam roller. I love it and hate it. It hurts on some parts of my body. It feels great on my back though!!!!

Good reminder for me to drag that thing out from under the bed.
