If you don’t have a foam roll or access to one your missing out!! Foam rollers are used to massage the muscle and move soreness causing chemicals out of the area, while supplying the tissue with fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients to jump start the repair process. By applying gentle force to an adhesion or “knot,” the elastic muscle fibers are altered from a bundled position (that causes the adhesion) into a straighter alignment with the direction of the muscle or fascia. Key is to find a tender spot and sustain pressure on that spot for a minimum of 20 - 30 seconds. This process helps restore the body back to its optimal level of function.
