FOAM ROLLERS

Foam rollers are primarily used as a self-myofascial release technique as an alternative to massage. In other words, foam rollers are a great tool to loosen and relax tight muscles yourself!

• Decrease muscle tension and pain
• Improve muscle flexibility
• Target particular tight spots that stretching can’t
• Improve joint mobility
• Injury prevention
• Injury rehabilitation
• Spine stretches
• Use your long and short foam roller for Pilates exercises
• Short rollers often fit in your sports bag so are great for warm-ups and cool-downs!

Foam rollers are generally safe to use on the muscle of the legs and back. The technique used is usually a slow and controlled repetitive movement, rolling across the length of the muscle with a focus on particularly tight areas. Areas that are red, swollen, bruised, or recently injured should be avoided.
