Foam Roll & Self Massage

• Spend 2-5 minutes on each area, taking your time moving around, searching for tender points.

• Be sure to breathe throughout the duration. If you hold your breath, you will increase tension, never allowing the muscles to relax enough so you can get deep into the fibers.

• There may be areas that are really tender so roll them slowly and use the appropriate density massage tool.

• Follow up the massage session with the stretches & mobility work provided below. This ensures the best chance of restoring the proper length tension relationship.
