The “Foam Roller “looks quite comfortable in your video .But what does it do to you that just lying flat on a thick rubber mat or atop a stability ball doesn’t do ?

Hi Raymond,
A thick rubber mat is a decent replacement but it won’t have the rolling properties the foam roller has and won’t be a great choice with some of the other exercises we will be doing on it. But, like I said, it’s a decent replacement for some of the simple postural exercises. As for the stability ball, it’s also a decent replacement for certain exercises. The foam roller is much more firm and it also allows your body to relax to a much more significant level. Lastly, for those golfers with balance deficits the roller is much safer than a stability ball when lying on their back.
