Foam rolling is one of my favorite ways to end a workout, because it really helps prevent muscle soreness. I also sometimes use one before a workout in order to loosen tight muscles. Plus it feels so damn good, it's also a great way to relax before bed. So when I was sent a Mobility Wall ($89, originally $99) to try out, I was all on board. It's a standing foam roller that you attach to your door frame, so instead of rolling on the floor in a horizontal position, you can use it vertically. Sounds intriguing, right? Keep reading to see what I loved the most about it.

Is the Mobility Wall Easy to Set Up?

There's no assembly needed to use the Mobility Wall. You just take it out of the box and twist the large black knobs on the side in order to get it snug against your doorframe (fits between 26 and 36 inches). It comes with a soft round attachment that you can place in the middle of your Mobility Wall to use for trigger point therapy.

What Is the Mobility Wall Made Of?

There are a metal rod and plastic knobs that you turn to tighten it against your door frame. It's super easy to tighten and loosen in order to adjust the height of your Mobility Wall, depending on which part of your body you want to target.

The actual foam-roller part is made with EVA foam, which is firm yet soft, and I love that it's split into two foam rollers to leave space for your spine. It's lightweight, too, weighting just 10.2 pounds.

Mobility Wall: Trigger Point Therapy

I enjoyed rolling my upper and lower back with the regular foam-roller part on the Mobility Wall, but I often get super-tight knots in my upper back and shoulders, and regular foam rolling just won't cut it. I've tried rolling a lacrosse ball against a wall, but it always rolls away, and I end up frustrated, with no relief. And since I can't rely on my husband to massage every little knot I have, the fact that this Mobility Wall comes with a ball specially for trigger point therapy makes this foam roller a game changer. This was by far my favorite feature.

I also loved lowering the Mobility Wall to about knee height so I could target my tight calves. Having the stability of standing on one leg allowed me to have greater control than if I was doing this on the floor. It's also not as intense since I could adjust how much pressure down I wanted to apply.

Mobility Wall: Glutes

Foam rolling my glutes is one of my favorite muscles to target (it hurts so good!), and being able to sit on the Mobility Wall and really dig into all parts of my glutes, including the top, bottom, and sides, felt amazing. I could lower the Mobility Wall a little and also roll my hamstrings and inner thighs.

Mobility Wall: Triceps and Forearms

After an upper-body workout, foam rolling my triceps and forearms feels so good. I used to do this on a barbell while it was secure in the rig at my gym, but since I've been working out at home, this allows me to massage it even more effectively. The soft foam just feels much more gentle than the cold metal bar.

If you check out the Mobility Wall app, there are free instructional videos on various ways to use it in order to target different muscle groups. I had fun exploring all the different ways to use it.
