(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 17, 2015 ) London, United Kingdom -- The Foam roller is not a secret to most runners and they at least will have heard of it or seen it in the gym. Many will not know how to actually use it to enhance their run or prevent incurring an injury. Dynamic stretching, core work and exercises working to strengthen the knees and ankles are also beneficial to running but many do not know or practice them to enhance their performance and recovery time after running.
Foam rollers, when used in the correct way, can release tension and tightness or soreness between the muscles and the fascia (which surrounds the muscle or group of muscles). The cause of this tension or tightness is usually a repetitive moving pattern like running, but also could be resistance training or other repetitive sports and actions. Foam rolling as well as dynamic stretching can help improve flexibility and range of movement, and decrease the risk of injury.
One point with foam rolling is using the body weight – so if an area really hurts, a gentle approach is required on that spot, supporting some of the weight elsewhere, using the arms. Using the breath, lengthen the inhalation and exhalation while rolling on the most knotted spots. This can help the muscles release quicker and then gradually add more pressure with the body, ensuring that the feelings and sensations are not painful.
In the past 10 years, there has been a massive explosion with the popularity of running, it is important to educate runners to prepare their body correctly prior to the run and relieving the tense muscles post run.
The spokesman for TLV Fitness was thrilled about the new product release on Amazon, saying "Even if you're not a runner, using the Foam roller can be a great way to give yourself an amazing therapeutic massage. However, if you are a runner and have not yet used a Foam Roller before and after your run, please test it out for yourself. It is one of the reasons why I enjoy my runs so much more, injury free. "
The Foam roller is currently on sale on Amazon and 50% off the original price.
