### 2/5 — Not worth the money

*2021-04-25, version 2.1*

What I wanted: an app that could help me recover from injury, that would give me good advice, that would give real time sessions and the ability to build my own menu for a session that I could follow in real time.
What I got: an anatomy course and dated techniques (the ones on line now show that holding a position for at least 30 seconds is more beneficial). 
What I now want: my money back!

### 1/5 — What happened

*2021-02-02*

Tried opening app but it won’t open. Help!

### 5/5 — Recovery without surgery

*2019-06-28, version 2.1*

I have had chronic joint issues for years, to the point that my doctor recommended cortisone shots and surgery for 2 support injuries. Dr. Ryan Emmons strongly urged me to take the non-invasive route and regularly roll instead. It’s incredible! Rolling not only resolved my issues WITHOUT cortisone shots or surgery, but has allowed me to start weight training again without injury! This is a game-changer! I do my rolls religiously everyday because I have witnessed the efficacy of them in my own life.

### 5/5 — Quicker recovery

*2017-09-24, version 2.1*

Over the last couple years, I’ve had a recurring injury in my lower back. Each time I’ve set up a handful of Physio sessions at $100 a pop until I’m back into shape. To save some money, I decided to pick up a foam roller and take my recovery into my own hands. Using the roller with this app has dramatically sped up my recovery. It’s super detailed and easy to use, and has exercises for my specific injury listed among many others. Would definitely recommend!

### 3/5 — Good app with good video demos

*2015-04-14*

Pretty good app. I like the anatomy chart and clicking on the muscles to show what technique to use to work it out.

I wish there was audio explaining the technique with the video. I also wish you could just create your own playlists of exercises.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2015-01-27, version 1.10*

Wish the description had been better. This is NOT what I needed.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2015-01-21, version 1.10*

Great app for us runners

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-01-18*

When I purchased this app about two years ago, it said that they were working on adding the audio. Still waiting. It would be much more useful with audio. I'm tired of watching the person "giggle " his way on the foam roller. 

Too much to pay. 
What are you waiting for?Add the audio!

### 5/5 — Bargain

*2014-10-11, version 1.10*

What a bargain. Great up for rehab, prehab and anyone in sport. Been using this for neck and shoulder rolling techniques and have found it very useful.

### 5/5 — Just purchased for rotator cuff inj

*2014-09-20, version 1.10*

I haven't started using this app yet but just checked out the rolling out exercises for my injury. Illness incorporating the foam roller into my Trg and will update this review. I'm excited, these exercises will help me lift heavy!!
