Using a Foam Roller for Muscle Therapy — Update
A few weeks ago, I posted an article on using a foam roller to help with sore muscles or muscles with knotty localized discomfort.
I’ve been using a foam roller for about six weeks now, and I am absolutely convinced that it helps speed recovery after hard workouts.
But after about 5 weeks something unusual happened: my hamstrings began to “let go” during stretches, in other words, to stretch really nicely. I feel comfortable attributing this very substantial improvement to my continued use of a foam roller, helping break up adhesions and knotty tight areas in my leg muscles.
