A foam roller is a lightweight, cylindrical tool made of foam used for self-administered deep-tissue massage and myofascial release. It's employed to relieve muscle knots, reduce soreness and tension, increase flexibility, improve circulation, and enhance overall mobility.
Foam rolling is a form of SMR, allowing you to use your own body weight to target and release muscle knots and adhesions.
It helps alleviate muscle pain and soreness, particularly after exercise, and reduces overall muscle tension.
