1
Purchase a pugil stick or pool noodle. Make sure that the material is firm and sturdy, capable of withstanding the mild pressure of foam roller massages without sinking in.

2
Find an old broomstick or other wooden pole of similar thickness. If your wooden pole is under 2 1/2 feet long, it won't be usable. If it is over 2 1/2 feet long, cut it down to size (between 2 1/2 and 3 feet) with a handsaw, and sand away any sharp edges.

3
Slide the wooden pole inside of the pool noodle or pugil stick. If it doesn't fit, use a razor to cut away enough foam to widen the noodle's opening, then twist the wooden pole in slowly, gently stretching the opening as you twist.
