Foam rolling is a self-myofascial release technique that involves using a cylindrical foam roller to massage and relieve tension in muscles. By applying pressure to specific areas of the body, it helps to break up knots and improve blood flow, which can enhance flexibility and reduce soreness after exercise. This practice is commonly used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts as part of their warm-up or cool-down routines. Regular foam rolling can aid in recovery, improve range of motion, and potentially prevent injuries by keeping muscles pliable and healthy.
