Proper Foam Rolling Techniques
FOAM ROLLING
This is something I prescribe on a daily to patients and I use myself to aide in warmups and reduce soft tissue restrictions.
@hypericeusa is one of the best on the market. I’ve seen patients and athletes using it daily who love it!
Besides bringing blood flow to tissues and aiding in acute flexibility increases, foam rolling in large works with your central nervous system to tell the brain to CHILL OUT. A foam roller stimulates the mechanoreceptors lying within the fascia (connective tissue overlying all your muscles), altering the activity of the muscles below.
Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors under the skin detecting touch, pressure, vibrations and cutaneous (skin) tension. The @hypericeusa not only adds pressure to the myofascia like other rollers, but it also taps into the vibratory receptors for added effect.
