Foam rollers
Foam rollers are a type of self-myofascial release tool that you can use to massage your own muscles in the comfort and privacy of your home. In everyday life, foam rollers can be a great way to release tension in your muscles after a strenuous workout or physical activity. They are also becoming more commonly used as part of a sports massage because they can help to break up knots and lactic acid in the muscles.
A foam roller is essentially a long cylinder with firm foam on each end. It’s essentially the same thing as the roller massager tools that professional athletes use, but much cheaper, portable and accessible for everyone.
Before buying a foam roller, you will need to take several factors into consideration such as what purpose it will serve and how firm you want it to be. Fortunately, finding the right one for you doesn’t have to be difficult or confusing! Here are some helpful tips on how to choose the best foam roller for your needs.
