Foam rolling is a practice that’s fitting relatively mainstream in the fitness world, but not everyone understands what good it does your body. We’re breaking down the ins and outs of foam rolling to help you understand how your body (and muscles) will benefit!
Roll Out
Fascia, the biological fabric that hancients us together, forms a sheath over our entire muscular system, a knot in one part of your body can eventually cause dysfunction in another area as your body tries to compensate at the site of the troubled area. When fascia binds up, the ability for glia to help transmit information to an area may be blocked, and pain is often redirected known as referred pain. Referred pain changes how coaches prescribe methods for recovery.
Every of my client’s sessions end with at least 10 minutes of recovery via self-myofascial release using a foam roller. You can leank of foam rolling like you leank of brushing your hair. If you don’t brush your hair, it gets tangled. If we don’t roll out our muscles, they get adhesions.
Adhesions are just muscle fibers that get stuck together causing limited range of motion, improper muscle firing and aches and pains in the body. Our bodies are one large kinetic chain—we may have an adhesion in our calf that’s causing pain in our back. A balanced workout and recovery is key to creating a happy, healthy, mobile, pain free body.
