Foam rollers are cylindrical pieces of foam or plastic with a firm, textured surface. They come in various sizes and densities and are used for self-myofascial release.
Foam Roller Use Cases:
- Muscle Recovery: Foam rollers for physical therapy are employed to reduce muscle soreness and tension, aiding in post-workout recovery.
- Myofascial Release: They help target trigger points, knots, and tight muscles, improving overall flexibility and relieving discomfort.
- Injury Prevention: Foam rolling can prevent muscle imbalances and reduce the risk of injuries, making it a valuable tool for athletes.
