Now that we have you foam rolling and digging a ball into all the tender spots you are finding lets talk about how to get the most of out the soft tissue release we are doing.
In the video I covered 3 things we want to be doing and one thing we want to avoid to get maximal benefits from the time you are spending on soft tissue mobilization.
#1 Don't speed over your muscles unless you are only trying to warm them up and increase blood flow.
#2 Pressure matters, you want enough that its uncomfortable but little enough that it isn't painful, you aren't tensing or holding your breath.
#3 Targeting trigger points/ knots in the muscle.
#4 Creating waves of pressure to release muscle tension.
Does this change how you will be foam rolling from now on???
