Is the get better than the rollon for pain, or the same?

They are the same - you probably get more of the gel when you use the regular gel - the roll on is for convenience only. But you have to remember to wash your hands after applying unless putting on hands and DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF HEAT WITH THIS PRODUCT. You can actually burn your skin. This is the same thing that therapists use on you after you have had say rotator cuff surgery. Hope that helps.

If it's the same brand, it works about the same. I would say the gel does seem a little bit stronger since it's easier to lay it out thick. Doesnt take long to dry at all.

I prefer the gel. It penetrates to the pain faster. If I go somewhere I take a roll on for convenience but the gel is better.

A little bit yes, curls go better than i thought, i feel its a bit more difficult to do benchpress.... Overall its the best compromise between weight, cost and ergonomics...

The bands don't feel as sturdy in my opinion. It has better center of gravity to assist with form.

Wish I could answer your question, but I don't know which of the two is better. Sorry :(

I can't say that is better than the typical tens machine. They are the same in terms of the tens itself. Hollywog is easier to use but they are made to be used on your back, if you try to use it in other body parts the machine does not work so well.

I also have a serious back injury. I use my roller on my side when my back is too tender. Then I roll my upper thighs to relax before rolling my back. I have to be very gentle on my back and just gently roll back and forth, without resting my whole weight onto the roller. After using the roller for 6 months, I have much less pain.The more you use the roller, the more you will be able to get rid of pain. I hope by detailing my use, you will have ideas on how to use this for yourself! :)

Bromelain has many healing properties, not the least of which is helpful with painful joints. I would say, yes, with Bromelain is better.

Not really. It works your spine a bit when you roll out on it. I can actually get it to pop my back, but the travel roller hits the spine better since it's not nearly as wide.

They're both nicely challenging so, no matter which one you'll start, you'll still be adjusting to it for a while until you'll be able to get through the whole thing. So it won't really matter. They're more similar than they are different. Good luck!

As a mid-60s male with a bad back, a bad heart and 2 bad knees, I say yes. Though it is much faster and easier if my wife (mid-60s, bad back, 1 lung cancer survivor) helps a little.

This is a guess Terry, as you haven't provided much to go on, but you may find that one had harder, denser projections than the other. I'm sorry, but without access to the exact info in the web page you are viewing, I can't tell you which is which, though my guess would be that the cheaper one is the softer one. I hope that helps, such as it is. Unless you are an experienced rumble roller user, personally I would opt for the soft option.

The roll-on allows you to control the application better. It also allows you to massage it in a little, which can be soothing. The spray is good for hard to reach or large areas.

I thought the same however after you give it a try, it becomes easier although I haven't increased the tension yet since I don't want to strain myself. I've wondered if anyone HAS increased it, because it is much more difficult with small increases.

Classic is better. And use the DVD as well as the big chart! It is just a matter of slowly building up your body with increasing time slots. Your body will enjoy the feeling of well-ness motions!From Alan in Hawaii

It is alot smoother and easier to use, very comfortable as well. Sorry for such a short answer but its one of those things where only experience can really give you the answer you want.

Skin density and the smaller needles are less painful and trauma is less to skin. As you become accustomed to rolling you increase the size. But start out small

If the machine is set to the lightest resistance its more of an easy rolling sensation. I think your weight and the type of knee problem would be more of a factor.
