Foam rolling has worked a treat for me and my cramping calfs. @vickster mentioned in a thread about using a one and had no idea up to that point what they were or their use. Strange coincidence as my better half walked through the door that night with a foam roller from Aldi, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have gone out of my way to buy one. I watched a couple of Youtube vids on how to use them properly and gave it a try.

All I can say is the pain in my calfs and quads was excruciating first few nights of using it but persevered until it felt OK. Now I don’t seem to cramp either as quickly (most times not at all) or with as much intensity.

I foam roll regularly mostly for my knees, but i have used it for glutes and all sorts it's a god send for me personally.
