Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) is a technique used to relieve muscle tightness and improve flexibility. It involves applying pressure to specific areas of the body using tools like foam rollers or massage balls. This pressure helps to release tension in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, which can enhance overall movement and reduce pain. SMR is often incorporated into warm-up or cool-down routines in various physical activities, including yoga, Pilates, and strength training. By regularly practicing SMR, individuals may experience improved circulation, reduced muscle soreness, and increased range of motion, contributing to better overall physical performance.
