About Rollga

The idea for Rollga all began when our creator, Taggart, was in his 30s running marathons. While training, Taggart began suffering from shin splints and a resurgence of back pain that initially began after a car accident he was involved in several years earlier. Taggart was recommended to begin foam rolling and shortly after was blown away by how much it helped his pain. There was only one issue. The foam rollers Taggart was using were traditional flat foam rollers which made it incredibly difficult for him to reach and target the areas on his shins and back that needed attention. Thus, with Taggart's background as a Physicist, he began to research the various types of foam rollers available. Taggart invested in every foam roller he could find and began documenting the pros and cons. He found that the basic design of the foam roller had not changed and that most rollers are flat while our bodies are not - hence the ‘curves’ of Rollga are born to better fit the human body thru an engineers mind. The Birth Of Rollga Taggart and his wife Tammie knew they could create a “better mouse trap” foam roller. They wanted a roller that would go deeper - beyond what the ordinary roller can reach. They also sought to find ways to take the pressure off the bones when rolling for more comfort. They experimented by rigging various materials and products, even using a lathe! After more than 50 prototypes, they had found an extremely versatile solution, and Rollga was born!Read their story
