(P)Rehab: Foam Rolling and Point Release

February 16, 2019

Foam Rolling and Ball Work

This one is from the archives.  May 15th, 2012.  Still relevant now.

Soft tissue work at its most basic. This is a quick video that is going up to ensure that the dinos get the information they need so they can quit whining about being sore. If I get a chance I will get a full write up together for this series on stretching and foam rolling. This deserves some high quality video and some actual explanations on what it is that I am doing this for. For the time being, follow the carny. Look for sore and tender points and try and “iron” them out with a roller or a ball. I find that a hard ball works better than a soft one, though some give in it is essential. A lacrosse ball works quite well, and I am quite fond of super bouncy balls.
