How do you know what size foam roller to buy?

Choose a 3 to 4 inch (7.6 to 10.2 cm) diameter for a targeted approach. Most foam rollers have a 6-inch (15 cm) diameter, but a roller with a smaller diameter can be helpful for targeting certain parts of the body. For example, a thinner foam roller can target shoulder muscles better than a larger roller would.
