Foam rolling is a great way to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness after a workout. Foam rolling helps by activating the sensory receptors between the muscle and the tendons to help relax anx soothe muscles. Foam rolling also helps break up any scar tissue. There are a variety of different types you can buy. Watch this video to help you decide which is best for you. This practice does hurt as you are pushing on trigger points so please follow directions on the packaging or do a quick google search or youtube search how to find the right spot to roll for you! Always avoid the lower back, good luck! (My favorite spot is on my shins or glutes)
