Foam Rolling
Foam rolling is a self-myofascial release technique that involves using a cylindrical foam roller to apply pressure to specific areas of the body. This practice helps to relieve muscle tightness, improve flexibility, and enhance overall recovery after exercise. By rolling over the foam roller, individuals can target knots and tension in their muscles, promoting better blood flow and reducing soreness.
Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts incorporate foam rolling into their warm-up and cool-down routines. It is often used to prepare muscles for activity or to aid in recovery post-workout. Regular foam rolling can contribute to improved performance and reduced risk of injury.
