Why foam rolling is important?
Form rolling is a great way to reduce pain, soreness, and tightness of the muscles. It is a type of self-myofascial release (SMR) technique in which pressure is applied to the affected areas (Trigger points) to provide relief from the pain and tightness.
The form roller breaks down the “knots” which are responsible for inducing pain thus gives a feeling of relaxation and get back the muscles to perform their functions normally.
Here are some of the many benefits you can access with rolling the foam.
The feeling of hurt and pain that foam rolling gives is temporary as you will feel way relaxed after it’s over. Foam rolling is an inexpensive solution which cures muscle strain to increase range of motion resulting in muscles to lengthen, stretch and get back to their normal size. However, foam rolling has to be used correctly otherwise it can be harmful which worsen the condition even more.
