Introduction to foam rolling
The first time I was exposed to this recently- introduced conception of rolling on a piece of froth was during my original visit to Cornell University. As I entered the hockey dressing room for the first time, I watched Sean Collins, now a member of the Washington Capitals organization in the National Hockey League, painlessly rolling out on this black, rounded piece of froth.
Why Foam Roll?
First of all, we all accumulate tight muscles and detector points, which are hyperirritable spots in the fascia ( stringy towel) girding cadaverous muscle. They can be caused by colorful factors similar as exercise, mobility, inflexibility, movement patterns, posture, nutrition, sleep, stress, hydration, and life routines.
Detector points keep the muscle tight and weak confining range of stir. Likewise, froth rolling can be used to help release detector points and adhesions ( knots) accrued in the body. I like to relate to froth rolling as a free massage that I can enjoy anywhere at any time!
