"Ecstasy" foam shaft roll method

Do not directly roll the pain place.

When we feel pain, our first response is to directly massage the point. However, this may be a big mistake. Some experts said: "The area of ​​pain is the victim of the imbalance of other parts of the body."

is like it. It is useless. If Xiaoqiang is not resolved, Xiao Ming is still in a state of oppression, and the situation will end up forever. This is the reason for

muscle relaxation. Let us take the iliac tibial beam as an example. For the iliac tibial beam, the foam axis is a commonly used treatment prescription. Although your iliac tibial beam may be very good, the iliac tibial beam is a obviously strong connective tissue. How to directly use the foam shaft to strongly stimulate the iliac tibial beam, which is likely to cause the inflammatory response that occurs there. It is conducive to relaxing muscles.

The correct method is to find the relevant muscles around the iliotibial band, and slowly relax them from the starting and ending points of the muscles, such as the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata. After releasing them, slowly relax the iliotibial band. bundle, which will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

2Don't roll the bodyBony signs

The main function of the foam roller is to relax the muscles and fascia of the body, so you must pay special attention when relaxing many superficial parts of the body with relatively few muscles.

For example, when using a foam roller to relax the lower back and improve the mobility of the thoracic spine, try to control the position of the foam roller and do not let the foam roller press the spinous process to prevent damage to the spine.

Also, when relaxing the quadriceps, do not press on the patella, because pressing on the patella will put a lot of pressure on the patella and may cause knee pain.

3 The rolling speed should be appropriate and the intensity should be appropriate.

Different methods and intensity should be adopted at different positions. For example, when rolling the iliotibial band, the upper limbs can be used to support the weight of the upper body, and the rolling time can be relatively longer.

For example, when massaging and relaxing the hamstring muscles, if the body weight is not enough to achieve the relaxing effect, you can put the two legs together to make the relaxing effect more obvious.

For another example, when relaxing parts with less muscles such as the upper limbs, the scrolling speed can be appropriately accelerated and the time can be shortened.
