Myofascial Release is often ignored in peoples training programs. This is a great way to release adhesions that tight fascia may cause. Releasing fascia as well as proper hydration may help prevent injuries and imbalances. This should be implemented into your daily training routine. For more info on Myofascial Release please read my article on my website www.therqtect.com

  • Are these the major muscle groups that we should attend to? or do you have any tips for which specific body area we should target at a time. Is the goal to use SMR on the muscles you use in training or should you address the overall body in its entirety?

    Specifically, I'm an intermediate runner and I just found out about SMR and I'm not sure how to approach this. I run 3 miles 3 times a week and do cross training (capoeira and kwando) 2 times a week. Suggestions?

  • @alexgirl6 If you have limited time you should definitely target the areas that you use the most. In your case since you are an avid runner you should def concentrate on your IT band, Quads, and inner thighs. However my recommendation is to try to do recovery at least 2-3 times a week and do all areas of your body. I also recommend using a tennis ball for preventing or helping plantar fasciitis. You take a tennis ball and roll the bottoms of your feet. If you have more questions feel free.

  • The foam roller is 3 feet long 6 inches round.
