IN THIS LESSON
With a foam roller we can address muscle tension while promoting a healthier balance of muscle groups. Use this video regularly!
One of the best ways to really dig deep into our muscles for some serious release work is to use a foam roller. Admittedly, this can be kinda uncomfortable at first. But with consistent practice, it gets better! In fact, it can actually be a great technique for releasing pain. Incorporating strategic foam roller release of tight and overworked muscles can allow us to better balance the body's muscular system, leading to healthier functioning of the core and pelvic floor.
*Foam roller work is generally not advised for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or those taking blood thinners. Please check with your health care provider for any concerns you may have and questions about if foam roller work is right for you.
**Recommended roller: 36x6 inches. Firm.
