Foam roller mobilization is a self-myofascial release technique that involves using a foam roller to apply pressure to muscles and fascia. The goal is to release tension, improve circulation, and restore normal tissue movement by breaking down adhesions, scar tissue, and muscle knots.
This technique is particularly effective for improving flexibility, reducing muscle soreness, and enhancing recovery after exercise or injury. Foam roller mobilization can be performed on various muscle groups, including the back, thighs, calves, and shoulders.
Foam roller mobilization is a valuable part of rehabilitation, helping to alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and speed up recovery by releasing muscle tightness and improving tissue health.
