Dual Zone Rollers
Gaiam introduces two new products for self-care:
a dual-zone foot roller and back roller. The foot
roller is designed to ease tension, stimulate blood
flow, and provide relief for foot conditions, including
plantar fasciitis. The back roller is intended for
restorative therapy; the product cradles the spine
and targets muscles on either side, while raised
nubs provide healing and increased blood flow.
Starting in October, the 12-inch foot roller is
available for $19.98 and the back roller is available
for $14.98 at www.target.com or www.amazon.com.
