Foam rolling is a form of myofascial release and through pressure and friction it is believed to release tension, break up adhesions, and break up scar tissue. Foam rolling does…
- Increase blood flow to the area
- Decrease soreness
- Increase short term flexibility
It does not…
- Increase prolonged flexibility
- Increase or decrease performance
So, how should foam rolling be used? Due to the increased blood flow and short term flexibility, foam rolling can and should be used during a warm up. You do not have to already be warm to use a foam roll. It is also a great idea to use a foam roll after exercise due to its ability to reduce soreness and decrease muscle tension.
You only need to use a foam roll for 60-90 seconds per muscle group. Foam rolling can be uncomfortable but it should not be painful. But know that the more you do it the less uncomfortable it will be.
To wrap it up, use foam rolling…
- During your warm up
- During your cool down
- Mix it into your mobility routine
- 60-90 seconds per muscle group
Hope this was helpful. Happy rolling!
