Foam Rolling for Muscle Recovery

Foam Rolling: Your Personal Massage Therapist

Foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release that involves using a foam cylinder to apply pressure to specific muscle groups. This practice can help to break up adhesions or "knots" in the muscle and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles). The benefits include reduced muscle soreness after exercise, improved flexibility and range of motion, and increased blood flow to the muscles. While it can be uncomfortable, especially on tight areas, regular foam rolling is an effective way to improve the quality of your muscle tissue and enhance recovery, helping to keep you mobile and functional as you age.
