what do you use them for? post workout stretching? ie you literally just roll around on them?

benefits?
It is good for tight areas, or areas where you are prone to injuring/imbalances. very good for the back, rotators, hips, IT bands etc... it basically acts as a self massager to increase blood flow in the area that is problematic, and "kneed" out the muscle to say the least. I usually find it most beneficial pre stretching.

Have you tried the travel roller? I find the trigger point one not hard enough... And the different sections somewhat gimmicky.
