Since 2009

WE MADE THE ROLLER WE COULD NOT BUY

RumbleRoller started as a long friendship between a manufacturer and an athlete who kept getting hurt. Mike Jastram had spent years building industrial parts and assemblies. Ron Johnson was an engineer who had already developed several fitness and rehabilitation products — and who had spent more than two decades looking for something that would actually reach the damage in his own body.

The problem

A SMOOTH CYLINDER WAS NO MATCH

Ron met his first foam roller in the mid-1990s. He liked that it let him work on himself without booking an appointment. He did not like the results — a smooth cylinder was no match for the deep restrictions and scarring left by too many training injuries.

The idea sat there for a decade. By 2005 he had stopped treating it as a frustration and started treating it as a design problem: how do you reach deeper tissue without simply making the tool harder?

2005 to 2009

NEW POLYMERS, NEW GEOMETRY

The early prototypes failed in two directions. Some were too difficult to manufacture. Others did not survive heavy use — and the whole point was a tool that would still be working years later.

In early 2009 Mike and Ron found the combination that held: new polymers and molding technologies that could produce firm but flexible bumps over a resilient high-density core. They registered rumbleroller.com in May. The first RumbleRollers sold that October.

WHAT THE BUMPS ACTUALLY DO

They reach further

High-profile bumps penetrate deeper than a flat surface can. A smooth cylinder presses tissue flat against itself; a bump pushes into it.

Tissue has somewhere to go

The large spaces between the bumps give displaced soft tissue room to move, instead of compressing it against itself.

Firm, but not rigid

Harder rollers and PVC pipe are not the answer. Inflexible surfaces do not work well around bone, and cannot get close to muscle attachments. Ours flex where they need to.

Protected, and copied

The bump geometry is covered by three US patents — D660,450, 9,039,641 and 9,320,675. Everything that came after has been a variation on it, including the imitations.

Convenience!

Used to keep a socket wrench in the car to dig into my upper back when it would hurt and knot up. This is much better. Doesn't exactly substitute for a roller, but it can be used on the ground and against a wall. I had a roller, but I really just need that deep pressure into the spot that's aggravating in my back.

If you're not hardcore, this is not for you

I bought this back in 2022 and didn't really use it much. I took it out again recently, and I don't really know why I stopped. This is great. I use it mostly for my feet. It is painful, but feels really good. You can do it while watching tv and it provides so much relief. It's also great for getting those hard to reach shoulder areas. If you do not like painful massages, this is not for you. This is for the hardcore!

Bought in 2019 and still using it

I purchased this in 2019 and still use it regularly. One of the best purchases I ever made. Has gotten me out of A LOT of back/hip pulls and knots. This does what normal foam rollers won't do, which is get deep into the tissue. I know if it's hurting (in the "good" way), I am on the path to healing.

Where to start

NOT SURE WHICH ONE?

For most people, including professional athletes, the Original is the right answer — firmer does not mean deeper, and going too firm too early usually means using it badly rather than using it well.
