Technical Specifications

Available Sizes and Selection Guide

Each size has a different diameter and length. First, check the area that needs support. Then select the size that fits the planned exercise.

Sizes are shown as diameter × length. Confirm the selected variant before ordering.

For Physiotherapists and Rehabilitation Teams

A bolster roller can help therapists support a body area during planned exercises. For example, it may be placed under the knees during a positioning task. It can also support the back during selected mobility exercises.

The firm foam gives a stable support surface when used correctly. Also, the different sizes help therapists choose a suitable length for each task. A smaller bolster may suit local positioning, while a longer one offers more contact area.

However, the roller is not a medical treatment on its own. The therapist must choose the position, exercise and level of support based on the person's needs.
