Physical therapists, personal trainers, and professional athletes alike all praise the numerous health benefits of foam rolling. Foam rollers are a relatively inexpensive piece of lightweight equipment that you can use to \u201croll out\u201d muscles and tissue that is sore or tight. When using a foam roller, you use your own body weight for leverage, making it much safer than using the heavy machinery you find in the gym. The most common use for a foam roller is to relieve soreness post-workout or for injury recovery, but it can easily be incorporated into your workout routine as a regular method for keeping blood flowing to your muscles and connective tissue. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diane Allan, Fitness Training Coordinator at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldendoor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golden Door Spas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, weighs in on exactly how to use a foam roller. \u201cFoam rollers are effective in improving posture, flexibility, balance, core strength, and joint mobility,\u201d Allan says. \u201cIt is also used for myofascial release, or \u2018rolling out\u2019 muscles to improve circulation, and to relieve tension in muscles and connective tissue\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n[sc name=&#8221;saveupto70off&#8221; ]\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&nbsp;<em>are<\/em>&nbsp;foam rollers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fitness instructor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.halsesf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Henry Halse<\/a>&nbsp;says foam rollers are, well, basically what they sound like: cylinders of hard foam, either one foot or three feet in length. They come in all shapes and sizes and have different densities. The firmer the foam, the more painful it might be to use. Start with a softer foam roller to figure out what level you\u2019re ready for, especially if you feel tight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why should I use&nbsp;<\/strong>a foam roller?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to personal trainer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/barbellpilates.com\/about-trish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trisha DaCosta<\/a>, foam rolling is a technique used to release muscle tightness and trigger points, bringing the muscle back to a healthy state. The technique is useful before a workout since it loosens things up, as well as after a workout to massage the muscles. It can also be used in between workouts to keep your body fresh, limber and healthy. If you sit at a desk all day, the foam roller is an absolute must, since it works to relieve the tension that builds up all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which muscles are foam-rollable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Halse recommends foam rolling your calves, hamstrings, quads, glutes, adductors, lats, chest and upper back. Avoid foam rolling your lower back, which could lead to injury, and don\u2019t directly foam roll over joints, like your knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I foam roll correctly?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foam rollers should be used on the floor. \u201cYou essentially want to use your body weight as pressure to roll back and forth over muscles,\u201d Halse explains. \u201cPut the body part you want to work on the roller, and roll it back and forth at least 10 times.\u201d Make sure you do both sides to make it even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does foam rolling hurt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou may find a spot that is particularly painful,\u201d Halse says. That\u2019s because the muscle you\u2019ve landed on is &nbsp;tight and needs to be loosened up. \u201cStay on that spot, breathe and relax until it is less painful, then continue rolling,\u201d he recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How often should I foam roll?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you should foam roll several times a week, says fitness author&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peanutbutterrunner.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jennifer DeCurtins<\/a>. \u201cSpend about 30 seconds on each muscle group, and increase that time for areas where you experience tightness and pain,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will foam rolling make my workout better?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heck yeah, it will. When you\u2019re at class, you want your body to perform at its full potential, right? \u201cAs part of dynamic warm-up, foam rolling applies pressure to the knots and pressure points in our body,\u201d DaCosta explains, \u201cand opens them up to allow us to perform our workout at our most optimal state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How to Choose a Foam Roller<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re new to foam rolling, or have an injury that you want to nurse, soft rollers may be a nice option for you. \u201cThe soft rollers are beneficial for rolling out (myofascial release) muscles that are very tight and\/or sensitive,\u201d Allan says. \u201cThey may also be preferred during core exercises for individuals who are more sensitive to pressure on the spine\u201d.<\/span><br><b>Buy it now: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/brazynlife.com\/products\/the-morph-collapsible-foam-roller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazyn Life<\/span><\/i><\/a><b><i>, <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$68 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Standard Rollers<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve done foam rolling, or aren\u2019t scared to jump right in for your first time, pick a medium density roller. \u201cStandard density rollers are most often used for core exercises and myofascial release,\u201d Allan says. For just the right amount of firmness, try this option by Trigger Point Therapy. &nbsp;<\/span><br><b>Buy it now:<i> <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tptherapy.com\/product\/grid_foamroller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trigger Point Therapy<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, $35<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Firm Rollers<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFirm density rollers are preferred by a smaller percentage of people in our experience,\u201d Allan explains. These types of foam rollers are often best left for the experts, so if you\u2019ve never tried a foam roller before, try using these under the supervision of a personal trainer, physical therapist, or trusted class instructor. The harder nature of these rollers allows users to get deep into the muscle tissue. <\/span><br><b>Buy it now: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optp.com\/RumbleRoller-Firm?cat_id=204#.WieSbDuZ6EM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orthopedic Physical Therapy Products<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, $70 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How to Use a Foam Roller<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve picked out a foam roller for your level of expertise, there are many different uses for them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Core Exercises <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your foam roller can be used for more than muscle release, Allan recommends a variety of core exercises that you can do. Some of her suggestions include pelvic tilts, isometric abdominal exercises, bridges and modified bicycle. These exercises strengthen the pelvic area and help increase spinal stability, resulting in improved posture. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Postural Exercises <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like with the core, the back body can be strengthened using these tools.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe foam roller can be used horizontally under the lower back to stretch by bringing the knees to the chest,\u201d Allan explains. \u201cYou can also stretch the hip flexors by bringing one knee to the chest, while the other leg is extended towards the floor\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Myofascial Release <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common forms of foam rolling are those exercises used for myofascial release. Though initially awkward feeling when you\u2019re getting into the deep tissue, releasing tissue by rolling up and down on the foam roller often provides great relief. Allan suggests rolling out the glutes, quads, calf muscles, mid-back and the IT Bands (the connective tissue from your outer hips to the outer thighs). We carry a lot of stress in our connective tissue, and rolling out the IT Bands can be a great stress-relieving tool. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>With these simple steps and the right foam roller, you\u2019ll be set for a new addition to your workout routine!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more foam rolling guidance?
