FOAM Rollers!

Do you know all the great benefits of a Foam Roller? At Back In Motion Physical Therapy foam rollers are often used to help with posture and bringing back those shoulders by laying on it along your spine but you can do a lot more with foam rollers. For example if you ever have tight muscles, you can use a foam roller to roll out the muscles and bring relief to that area. Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable and roll out that IT Band that runs along the side of your leg from your hip to your knee. The IT Band is a large contributor to stabilizing the knee and it is important to not let it tighten up too much because it could cause some pain. Yes, it is not my favorite thing to do either but after I roll out my IT Band I feel instant relief from the tight muscle! By applying pressure from the foam roller it is releasing blood flow which brings more oxygen to the tight muscles and helps take away the tension! Another way to use a foam roller is for a core workout. If you lay your spine along  the foam roller and tighten up your core, try marching your legs one at a time. You can feel your core working hard to keep you stable on the roller. It is fun and protects your neck from those awkward crunches. Try it out and check out the link above for more tips on rolling out different muscles!
