222: What is foam rolling actually for? (it's not what you think)

<p>Foam rolling- you've probably done it. The actual term is SMR (self myofascial release) and you can do it with a number of different modalities outside of a foam roller like: tennis ball, lacrosse ball, with your hands, a rolling pin, a theragun, frozen water bottle, etc.<br /> <br /> If you're a trainer, you probably have your clients performing SMR on a regular basis.<br /> <br /> If you're a client, you probably think that since it hurts so good (it does!) that it's "working."<br /> <br /></p> <p>But, what does foam rolling ACTUALLY do? It's not what you think.<br /> <br /> This is a great episode for clients & trainers alike.<br /> <br /> You see, the thing is that we need more trainers who know what they're doing and more clients who know if their trainer knows what they're doing.<br /> <br /> We also need more integrity inside the Physical Therapy world (hard sometimes due to insurance!) and especially inside the Chiropractor world.<br /> <br /> This is a must listen if you've ever foam rolled or prescribed foam rolling to your clients. <br /> _____<br /> <br /> <a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/604909fffa09632ee27b7068" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sign up for The Barbell Collective waitlist here!</a></p>
