Why I chose to help develop the Bed Roller

The Bed Roller can be used from the hips and thighs to the muscles along the spine. With the specially designed back roller, the user can move slowly over selected areas while controlling the pressure throughout.

For Stian, ease of use is essential: when a tool feels manageable, it becomes easier to use consistently. Regularity can be more valuable than an intensive routine that is quickly abandoned.

Exercise is important, but pain or stiffness can make the first step difficult. Stian sees the Bed Roller as a supplement that can help the user work gently with muscles and joints before training or everyday activity.

The mechanical pressure can feel similar to hands-on work with muscles and joints, while the user remains in control. Because the body is supported rather than pressed against a treatment bench, the position also allows room for slow, self-directed movement.

Why I Joined the Development of the Bed Roller

When I was invited to help develop the Bed Roller, I had no doubts.

During my 15 years as a physiotherapist, I have recommended traditional foam rollers to many of my patients so they could release tight muscles and joints at home. The problem has always been the same: most people find regular foam rolling too painful, too heavy, or simply too difficult — and as a result, they give up quickly.

A More Accessible and Effective Way to Loosen Muscles and Joints

The Bed Roller finally solves this. It allows anyone to use a roller while staying completely relaxed. Its versatility is much greater: from hips and thighs to rolling comfortably all the way up the spine. With our custom-designed back roller, the Bed Roller becomes an extremely effective tool for releasing stiff muscles and tight joints at home.

When it comes to self-treatment of the back, there is nothing on the market that comes close to the Bed Roller in terms of ease of use and effectiveness. This makes it much easier for people to build a routine — which significantly increases the chances of reducing back issues they may have struggled with for years.

Supporting Exercise and Providing Manual-Therapy-Like Pressure

As a physiotherapist, my job is to understand why people are in pain, where the problem comes from, and which measures we should put in place. Exercise is essential, but many are so stiff or in so much pain that they struggle to get started. That’s why the Bed Roller is the perfect supplement: it loosens muscles and joints and prepares the body for training — without being too painful, too demanding, or overwhelming.

Using the Bed Roller applies mechanical pressure to muscles and joints similar to what you receive from a physiotherapist, chiropractor, or manual therapist — as long as no electrical devices are used. What makes the Bed Roller unique is that you control the pressure, allowing you to relax in a completely different way. And since you lie on your back with your knees bent — a natural resting position — the treatment becomes gentle, comfortable, and highly effective. This lying position also gives the spine room to mobilize, without being compressed against a bench like it often is during manual treatment.

Safe, Durable, and Adaptable for Individual Needs

The Bed Roller is safe, durable, and built to last. It helps keep your muscles soft, mobile, and ready for training, gardening, or whatever activities you want to enjoy. Throughout my career, I have helped people improve their back, hips, and knees — and with the Bed Roller, you have a tool at home that makes that process much easier.

Thighs, glutes, and back muscles can all be treated with the Bed Roller at your own pace, with exactly the pressure that feels right for you — all while staying relaxed. I strongly recommend the Bed Roller as a simple, powerful, and effective way to take care of your body and prepare it for everyday demands.

The Bed Roller is built to be safe, durable and straightforward to use. Stian recommends it as a practical tool for people who want to take care of stiff muscles and joints and prepare the body for training, gardening or other everyday activities.
