❓What do you think about foam rollers? Let’s talk about the myths about foam rolling. • 👉It doesn’t actually break up fascia. 👉It doesn’t increase flexibility long-term. Truth: • ⭐The tactile sense of the foam roller can help your muscles relax.  If your muscles feel better, go for it. • ⭐Foam rolling helps increase blood flow to the muscles while flushing away debris and by-products.   ⭐Foam rolling increases short term flexibility and mobility.   Note:⚠️Foam rolling shouldn’t be the only thing you do for a warmup.  While it can increase blood flow, it doesn’t actively prepare the muscles for full-bodied movement.   Bottom line … If it feels good, continue using your foam roller.  But if you don’t enjoy it and get benefits from foam rolling, there’s no need to do it.  🎉Get
