How to use the massage roller

Place a massage roller under the sole of the foot. By moving the legs back and forth, the roller is rolled across the floor and massages the sole of the foot. It can be used in three ways:

Simply for relaxation. In this case, the feet just roll along without any particular focus.
For targeted practice to develop musical phrasing and rhythmic stability.
To refine movement patterns for playing technique.

Depending on the instrument, various options are available. This approach can be used to develop musical phrasing and rhythmic stability with almost any instrument. Refining motor skills is particularly beneficial for string instruments. Learn more about the technique on out topic page.

The following rollers are recommended by ema Musik, partly based on feedback from many customers.
