(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 02, 2015 ) London, United Kingdom -- The greatest and most popular personal trainers are the ones that are able to determine what tools to use and best fit their personal training clients.
Foam rollers are some of the latest training tools to be added to many personal trainers' toolkits. There are many different types of foam rollers, which are simply foam cylinders of different lengths and different densities or rigidity. The TLV Fitness massage roller is compact, with a hollow centre which makes it lightweight and simply portable allowing the personal trainer to take it to any PT training sessions. The unique foam surface simulates the pressure applied by a hand, palm or fingers of a massage therapist.
The Foam roller is correlated more to massage therapy, where the main purpose is to aid in relaxing tight muscles and eliminate muscle trigger points.
Trigger points or knots are very sensitive spots in the muscles that are normally the result of injuries, typically in physically active people, and overactive muscles that are never allowed to completely relax – such as the neck, back and shoulder muscles in office workers who find themselves sitting at a desk all day staring into a computer screen.
Trigger points can be the reason for muscle pain and joint pain, for headaches, and are sometimes associated with countless of problems including; dizziness, nausea, earache, chronic fatigue and scoliosis to name but a few.
Trigger points often start as tiny tears in the muscle. As the muscle goes through its regular repetitive tear and repair cycle, trigger points build up where a tiny part of the muscle fibre in effect becomes locked in a contracted state and cannot relax and go back to its normal resting length. The circulation is affected in those knotted spots and the cells become deprived of the oxygen and nutrients they need for normal cell metabolism, thus trigger points have a tendency to remain a problem until an appropriate intervention helps to release them.
The most effective way of releasing active trigger points is through deep tissue massage, which is the most traditional way. Why, because the masseuse is able to locate the trigger points through feel and touch and then apply direct pressure for about 30-60 seconds or until the client cannot take the sensation any longer. The pressure has to be significant for the release to take place and the knots to smooth out and muscle to lengthen and relax.
Not many can and are having deep tissue massages after every PT session as it is very time consuming and costly. The TLV Fitness massage roller is really just a tool used as a substitute for the hands, elbows and forearms of the massage therapist. The roller is used to locate trigger points and then apply direct rolling pressure to those trigger points to help them release. The truth is that applying direct pressure to trigger points can be painful.
The way the PT applies the roller into their session is fundamental to the clients experience and feedback. If the client is new to foam rolling they can apply less pressure as they use the TLV Fitness massage roller and gently go over the trigger points as they start to relax and release. If the client is familiar with the foam roller and has been using it for a while apply more pressure so that it can really release the deeper trigger points that are harder to reach. Using the breath and the clients discomfort threshold the PT can recommend the appropriate foam rolling massage technique and show their foam rolling expertise as they modify the exercises specific to each client.
The spokesman for TLV Fitness was thrilled about the new product release on Amazon, saying "As a Personal Trainer, What an amazing tool it is to use the foam roller with every client and improve their overall experience and recovery after a hard training session. Not only that but saving them money and time by not having to send them to deep tissue masseuse every time you train them hard."
The foam roller is currently on sale on Amazon and 50% off the original price.
