Myofascial Release

So I’ve been getting some questions lately as to what I do about soreness, immobility, and general aches and pains when it comes to the recovery process. Do I just grit my teeth, take it like a champ, or am I impervious to getting sore? Well I’m not impervious to getting sore so today I’ve got some answers for you! Check it out. 

Myofascial Release 

Myofascial release is a form of pressure point therapy that is designed to break up tight tissues as a result of stress that has been placed on the body. It is thought that factors such as physical environmental, emotional, and mental stress all play a part in fascia restriction. Here is one method that you can use to help break up and alleviate tightness in the body based on this restriction.

As I was saying a foam roller is also helpful in getting to the larger surface area of the legs and hips. I’ve also included a rather basic method for using the foam roller across the IT band, thighs, and hamstrings right here. Check it out. 

Myofascial release should be a regular part of your strength and conditioning program. As a public service announcement these exercises may be uncomfortable which is a sign you need it more. The more you practice the more you will start to feel relief. Myofascial release will also prime the muscles for a good stretch so I would recommend doing these prior to a good stretch.
