What Is Foam Rolling? Foam rolling is a self-myofascial release technique used to alleviate muscle pain and increase blood flow. It uses body weight to generate direct pressure to the "knots" or trigger points in the body. Often thought of as an "athlete's only" piece of equipment, the foam roller is a great tool for anyone needing to release muscle tension (and we ALL have a bit of muscle tension from sitting too long, exercise, or general tension). Imagine using a rolling pin to roll out lumps in bread dough and you'll get the picture. What Are The Benefits? Rolling is beneficial before and after your workout. Foam rolling prior to a workout can help decrease muscle density and allow for a better warm-up. Rolling after a workout can aid in recovery from a strenuous exercise. Other benefits of self myofascial release include: •Improvement in joint range of motion •Ease of muscle soreness and joint stress •Help in maintaining functional muscular length Key Points For Foam Rolling Rolling can be effective for many muscles, including calves, hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, hip flexors, latissimus dorsi, and the spine. Place the foam roller under each muscle group and roll, long strokes, for 60 seconds until a tender area is found. Once a knot is found, maintain pressure on the knot or trigger point for 30 to 60 seconds by moving back and forth over that surface area. Follow up by performing a stretch for each muscle group you just have rolled for maximal benefit.
