17 Editor-Approved Running Essentials — From Therabody to New Balance

Therabody Wave Roller ($180)

Foam rolling is equally as important as stretching after a run, because it allows you to relieve muscle tension and soreness on an even deeper level. The Wave Roller is a slightly more advanced product because it vibrates to assist in the process and the texture carved into the foam adds extra dimension to help you massage your body at varied angles, while also providing traction. You can read my full review of the Therabody Wave Roller for more information, which is where I compare it to my longer blue Melt Method model that you see in the above photo — a softer roller that has a bit more space for working both legs at once.
