Regularly using a foam roller offers many of the same benefits as a sports massage, which include reduced inflammation/scar tissue/joint stress, increased circulation, and improved flexibility. Rolling will also help with post workout recovery. Here are the top 5 benefits of the foam roller:

1. Prevents Injury and Helps You Recover Fast: Learning how to do a self-myofascial release, could help you train harder and reduce injury.

2. Breaks Up Scar Tissue: Breaking up scar tissue and adhesions between the skin, muscles and bones is crucial for a healthy body.

3. Improves Mobility and Flexibility: Increasing both of these are MUSTS to train harder!

4. Removes Lactic Acid to Aid Recovery: Always sore? Lactic acid builds up in your system after a workout. Foam rolling will help to decrease it.

5. Saves You Money: The Foam Roller is LESS than the cost of one sports massage.
