Foam Rolling Self Myofascial Release (with ball)

This 20 minute(ish) foam rolling routine will guide you on where and how to use your foam roller. We work from the bottom up with a foam roller before switching to a ball to get the harder to reach spaces (tennis ball, lacrosse ball, or something of similar dimensions will work). During this session, we apply pressure to each section for roughly 30 seconds, but I highly encourage you to hold it for even longer during or after this routine, especially if you find a super tender spot on your body - it may need some extra TLC. You can do this routine as a cool down, on a recovery day, or before a dynamic warm-up. It's a personal preference. (I prefer the first two). I hope you enjoy this routine and I hope this leaves you feeling a little bit better : ) The benefits of foam rolling and self myofascial release include: "Correction of muscle imbalances Muscle relaxation Improved joint range of motion Improved neuromuscular efficiency Reduced soreness and improved tissue recovery Suppression/reduction of trigger point sensitivity and pain Decreased neuromuscular hypertonicity Provide optimal length-tension relationships Decrease the overall effects of stress on the human movement system " National Academy of Sports Medicine (nasm.com) Foam Roller (Large): https://amzn.to/2TdJkrs Foam Roller (Small): https://amzn.to/3fYSWji Lacrosse Ball: https://amzn.to/2ZbiILl Textured Ball: https://amzn.to/2Z8iuVn Tag me in your posts & stories on IG: @lariemidkiff Music licensed through Soundstripe
