Maximize Your Foam Rolling to Increase Recovery and Performance

Everyones favorite recovery technique…foam rolling! But are you maximizing your results and speeding up your recovery the best you can?? Let’s dive in and find out!

Rolling Back and Forth

This is the standard of foam rolling and pretty much what every uses it for.Just some nice rolling back and forth. It feels nice but can only help your recovery so far. It can help increase blood flow and get the muscles a little looser and more “awake” and ready to work, but if you really want to help oprn up new range of motion and increase your recovery even further we’re going to have to amp it up a little bit!

Deep Breathing on Trigger Point

This is where finding the trigger point comes in! A trigger point is a really tender spot on your muscle, it may even be slightly painful. That’s when you know you really need to release that trigger point 😅 Once you find that spot focus on relaxing and deep breathing while applying pressure to that spot for up to a minute or until it releases. 

Relax and Contract Muscles on Trigger Point

This is where we take up another notch! Adding a dynamic movement to the muscles like a contract and relax method can amplify releasing that trigger point even further. By adding movement you can help get into that muscle even deeper and really release the problematic trigger point area.

    There Is Such a Thing as Too Much Stretching: Know Your Mobility Needs

    Stretching isn’t always the answer when it comes to loosening up. The assumption is that feeling tight means that you need to stretch more but that’s not always the case. Something a lot of people get wrong about mobility is that it’s more than just stretching. It’s about having the right combination of range of…
