If you have had any of this kind of pain, stress, knots, or have had muscular tightness anywhere in your body for months or years, foam rolling is the solution for you!


Foam rolling (and myofascial release) and are the most effective methods used to relieve tightness and tension in the body. When you use a muscle or muscle group frequently, your body breaks down muscle fibers so that they can adapt and grow stronger.


Fascia is the tissue that surrounds our muscle fibers and organs so that they may glide smoothly past each other to reduce friction in the body.


An unfortunate and inevitable side effect of frequent muscle use during exercise or other repetitive movements, is the development of knots, adhesions, and scar tissue around the fascia. This causes tightness and soreness in the muscle.


Using a foam roller and other myofascial release devices properly on the muscles allow you to break down the scar tissue, knots, and adhesions. Regular use of a foam roller and other SMR (self myofascial release) techniques over time will


-Improve flexibility


-Increase circulation


-Increase kinesthetic awareness


-Reduce injury


-Reduce recovery time between workouts


Foam rolling is beneficial for anyone who has muscular tightness, stress, knots, or chronic pain ANYWHERE on your body. This course extremely beneficial for both active and inactive, athletes and non-athletes.

    This is the kind of activity we should all be doing on a regular basis. Most of us wait until we get injured before we go searching for the foam roller, whereas if we used it as part of our warm up/cool down, many, if not all, of our injuries could be avoided. Jack takes us slowly through how to treat the most common areas we injure. I thoroughly recommend this course to everyone out there, not just active sports people. Thanks again Jack for your very professional approach.
