In addition to warming your body up and reducing soreness, foam rolling can: Reduce pesky knots.Intense exercise can lead to delayed onset muscle soreness. When you feel sore, you’re essentially feeling pain from microtrauma (tiny tears) in the muscle fibers. Oftentimes, as your body repairs the muscles, small knots form. Foam rolling helps align the muscle fibers and reduce discomfort as the body repairs itself. Flush toxins. Another way foam rolling helps alleviate soreness is by moving lactic acid and carbon dioxide — toxins built up during exercise — out of the muscles and tissues, and into the lymphatic system. Improve circulation. We touched on this above — foam rolling increases circulation, which in addition to warming your body up, helps muscles repair faster. Help range of motion.Your range of motion often decreases during exercise and strength training. This is because as muscles grow, they constrict and shorten during recovery. Connective tissue also thickens and tightens in an effort to protect the muscles. Foam rollers aid in the release of tension, allowing muscles to lengthen and return to their original size. This, in turn, improves range of motion. As always let me know how this works for you and if you have any questions!
