Myofascial Rolling classes emphasize loosening up the connective tissues increases muscle flexibility, in addition to reducing pain. The cylinder-shaped foam rollers are made of varying densities, which can be used to vary the pressure applied. You will practice rolling it over your muscles slowly, stopping and holding on to sore trigger points until the tension is released, usually in about 30 to 60 seconds. Applying sustained pressure with a foam roller can release tension in the muscles and tissues, and minimize constriction. Myofascial Rolling classes also restores heart rate and blood pressure levels after an intense workout.
