Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, May 11, 2022 11:00 AM Foam rollers are very popular these days. Places like Target and Walmart carry them. Grandmas and grandpas are foam rolling. Doctors are prescribing them. What began as a niche mobility tool used only by the most obscure fitness nerds has become commonplace. But if you want to get the most value out of your foam roller—and avoid doing any damage—you need to learn how to use it correctly. It's not as simple as "rolling" on it. There's an art to it. And a science. But before we get into how to use a foam roller, let's go over what a foam roller is actually doing (and not doing). What Foam Rolling Does (and Doesn't) Do Foam rolling is not physically breaking up knots or muscle adhesions. Foam rolling is also not lengthening the tissue like you're rolling out a slab of dough. Research shows that foam rolling doesn't physically stretch or lengthen the muscle. Instead, foam rolling seems to relax the nervous system. It works through neuromuscular connections rather than brute force physical modification. After foam rolling an area while moving that tissue, your nervous system has determined that this is the proper, safe range of motion for you. Foam rolling gives you a short opportunity to establish a new "safe" pattern. Rather than physical adhesions, it's removing neuromuscular blocks and harmful patterns. You reset the system and reprogram it, or leave it open to reprogramming with better movement. Foam rolling might also works through something called diffuse noxious inhibitory control, or DNIC. When a tissue hurts, it's because your nervous system has decided that inhibiting movement in that area (through pain) is safer and better for you than allowing movement through that area. But sometimes, the nervous system decides to blunt the pain because it's safer and better for you to move it than remain motionless. Consider a soldier taking a big wound in battle. He's grievously wounded, but extreme pain would only prevent him from making it to safety. The nervous system blunts the pain so he can make it back alive. The foam roller may be doing something similar. How to Use a Foam Roller Relax into the roller; don't tense up. This can be tough to pull off because by its very nature, foam rolling is uncomfortable. Painful, even. But here's what happens when you tense up: your body fights the healing effect the foam roller is supposed to have on you. You should be able to breathe easily and normally. If you're holding your breath, that indicates a stress response. You're probably going too hard or being too tense. Don't grimace. Don't grit your teeth. Try to smile, or at least maintain a neutral facial expression. Any outward expression of pain and discomfort will register with your nervous system. What you're trying to do here is reassure your body that you can handle the pain, that the pain isn't all that bad, and the tissue can start feeling better. Stay at a spot until it … Continue reading "How to Use a Foam Roller" The post How to Use a Foam Roller appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
