Just about anyone can benefit from using a foam roller as part of a stretching routine.
Using a foam roller is a great way to lengthen muscle and break up adhesions and scar tissue. It also helps to relax the muscles and boost circulation. And although it can be quite painful in tight areas, it is well worth the temporary pain. Just 10 minutes a day will give you great improvement in flexibility and as a result help with performance.
If you are using the foam roller for myofascial massage you want to choose one that is quite firm. You can purchase one at most fitness stores and online:
