(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 04, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- After exercise and physical activity, it is common to experience muscle soreness. For those who are just starting a fitness program, sore muscles are just one more challenge. For athletes who are adding intensity to their exercise routine, the aches and pains are also a reality. Although muscle soreness is a sign that muscles are getting stronger, it is an annoying discomfort. Worse, those who are just starting with a physical fitness routine could stop before they can reap the benefits of exercise.
To alleviate aching muscles, massage, along with stretches and anti-inflammatory medication, is recommended. However, having a massage is not always possible. The WOD Nation foam roller can be the tool which can take the place of a massage.
Myofascial release is a technique used in massage. Myofascial pain comes from trigger points which are related to stiff areas within the myofascial tissue and myofascial therapy zeroes in on the stiff areas. If a massage is not possible, foam rolling is a good substitute in helping overactive muscles recover. One study has shown that foam rolling is effective in relieving sore and irritated muscles brought about by overuse, trauma, and inactivity.
Amazon customers who have used the WOD Nation foam roller have this to say about the product:
It is sturdy and the grid design does a good job of working sore muscles. It is comfortable to use yet it is effective in deep tissue massage and muscle release. The PVC core offers firmness and durability while the foam outer layer adds comfort. The compact size would make it useful for someone in a college dorm or a small apartment. It's easy to control and back and legs feel amazing after 15 minutes. This would make a great travel roller. This product is great as an upper back, leg, and even as an arm massager. The material is sturdy and doesn't collapse under my weight.
Muscle soreness and pain may accompany physical activity but they should not be a reason to sideline one from getting fit or improving an exercise routine. As seen from customer reviews, the WOD Nation foam roller is an effective product for muscle and myofascial trigger point release. It alleviates discomfort from muscle overuse as well as inactivity.
