GETTING STARTED

Adjusting the Foam Roller

Everything you need to know to begin your Foam Roller journey with confidence.

Target individual muscle groups at one time.

Very slowly roll up and down the muscle, taking roughly 3-4 seconds to complete the movement.

Locate knots in the muscle - take your time and look out for ‘trigger point’ knots in the muscle.

Once you locate a trigger point, pause on it for 20 seconds whilst breathing deeply, allowing the muscle to relax over the roller.

Target particularly sore or tense areas by leaning into them, using your body weight and creating added pressure. This can usually be achieved by lifting up the legs or hips off the ground.

What are foam rollers used for?

Foam rollers are used for myofascial release, helping to reduce muscle tightness, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.
