Foam rolling is one of the most underestimated tools that people do not realize they have right in front of them. When I first started working out I never foam rolled. I would look at people who did it and judge them because they would do it so much. Little did I know this is one of the best things that I could do.
Now it is something that I do everyday and is a very important routine of mine. This helps me with daily muscle relief, improves my circulation in different muscles and also very relaxing your body.
Just like stretching, foam rolling can be a vital part in injury prevention, increasing blood flow, decreasing soft- tissue density and reliving tight muscles. I would suggest doing this pre and post workout.
After an intense session at the gym foam rolling would reduce muscle soreness which is something a lot of people may not know. It can also improve range of motion. I know for myself after practice or a game if I foam roll when I get to my room my body is less sore than it would be if I just went straight to bed.
Try it out for a week and let me know how your body feels after!
