Get A Foam Roller

What’s a foam roller? It’s a big, hard, foam cylinder shaped exercise tool and it’ll completely change the way you stretch! Foam rollers are amazing for helping people reach and massage deeper muscle tissue, also known as a self-myofascial release. When your body exerts itself, muscle tears and scars. While this process is natural, it can cause old blood to become trapped which slows the healing process. A foam roller, when used correctly, helps break up scar tissue, enabling new blood to reach muscle tissue; speeding up recovery.

Foam rolling is known to cause discomfort and pain so it’s important to know where to draw the line. Consult with a fitness specialist to learn proper techniques and to decide which type of foam roller is for you.
