Foam Rollers for Muscle Relief

At South Texas Spinal Clinic, we know that keeping your muscles flexible and strong is an important part of staying active. Using a foam roller, you can perform simple exercises that go a long way in soothing and strengthening tight muscles.

Foam rollers have become popular among people of all ages and can be incorporated into a Pilates workout or used for exercises in your living room to improve flexibility, balance, and strength.

They come in various widths and lengths. Cylinder in shape, they are typically six inches wide and range from one to three feet in length.

Foam rollers can offer many of the same benefits as a sports massage. Primarily, they are designed to stretch muscles and tendons, while breaking down soft-tissue adhesions and scar tissue.

Your body can be positioned differently on the roller to stretch numerous areas of your body, including the chest, upper and lower back, glutes, abdomen, and legs.

Foam rollers can be found in many sporting goods stores and large retail outlets.
