Hey Everyone,
A lot of us sit for long periods throughout the day, have low back pain, or have tight or weak muscles from being too sedentary.
If any of this sounds like you then maybe its time you tried foam rolling or self myofascial release!
Here at M.E.L.T. we use this technique to help with part of our warm up as well as a great tool in injury prevention with our clients and athletes.
What foam rolling is, is a great way to roll or massage tight muscles without the expensive bill from the masseuse.
Now this isn't the end all, be all to solve your problems but, its a great way to start releasing some tension in your sore or tight muscles!
Around our muscles is a connective layer of tissue that wraps around your muscle. As time goes on and life happens, some muscles may become tight, you may not stretch enough or after a hard work out sore. All of these reason why your muscles are sore or stuck together are called adhesion. That connective tissue becomes "bumpy" and the foam roller acts as a steam roller, if you will, and "flattens" those muscles and smooths then out.
Other benefits of foam rolling have been improvement in blood circulation which, then improves the delivery of nutrients and removal of waste, lengthening of short muscles, ligament and tendons, in even flexibility.
Again, this does not happen over night and does take some time but doing a little bit of something to improve your health is better than doing nothing at all!
Thanks for the read,
Craig
