JUST LIKE YOUR TRAINING/DIET.. HAVING A FOCUS ON YOUR SMR (SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE) METHODS WILL MAKE FOR A MORE EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE RECOVERY SESSION. INSTEAD OF AIMLESSLY ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR, TRY ONE OF THESE 3 EXECUTIONS:

CAUSE: STARTS NEUROMUSCULAR REACTION IN MUSCLE CELLS, CAUSING TIGHTENING REFLEX THEN RELEASE.

2 MINUTES PER MUSCLE.

ROLL LENGTH OF MUSCLE. WHEN YOU FIND A SPOT, MOVE BODY OPPOSITE OF MUSCLE FIBER.

CAUSE: BREAKS UP COLLAGEN FIBERS. NOT ALL COLLAGEN FIBERS MOVE SAME AS MUSCLE FIBERS.

5-10 SIDE-TO-SIDE “STRUMS” PER SPOT.

FIND A SPOT. CONTRACT MUSCLE (3 - 10 sec) then, RELAX MUSCLE (3 - 10 sec)

CAUSE: BY CONTRACTING, YOU’RE EFFECTING A NEUROMUSCULAR RESPONSE THAT TELLS MUSCLE TO PASSIVELY RELAX. BY ACTIVELY RELAXING, YOU ALLOW GREATER PRESSURE FROM THE ROLLER TO PENETRATE THE MUSCLE.

CONCLUSION: WHEN YOU ADD A MORE SPECIFIC AND FOCUSED FOAM ROLLING TECHNIQUE TO YOUR SOFT TISSUE RECOVERY METHODS, IT WILL HAVE A POSITIVE AFFECT THAT TRICKLES DOWN TO YOUR MOBILITY AND EXECUTION OF YOUR MORE DYNAMICS STRENGTH LIFTS.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY, YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER.
