SMR is a growing trend It has far reaching benefits The major use in the past has been in the physical therapy setting… Taking a foot hold in the fitness/sport/training setting SMR is being used for both warm-up and cool- down in fitness and sport training…to improve R.O.M. or to promote healing.

 Myofascial Release has been referred to as “stretching of the fascia.”  You should “stretch” only small areas at a time.  Self Myofascial Release has gained in popularity…  Foam rollers, massage balls, and many other manufactured or home made items are becoming as common as exercise equipment.

 Every organ and muscle in the body is covered by connective tissue called fascia.  Muscle consist of individual muscle cells or muscle fibers bundled together by fascia.

 When muscle fibers are repeatedly exposed to exercise strain or injury the fascia develops adhesions…  Fascia becomes short, tight, dense or knotted.  Adhesions often cause decreased blood flow to the muscles and can be painful to the touch.

 Myofascial Release:  Seeks to unlock the tension in the fascia  MR loosens and relaxes muscles by applying gentle, sustained pressure and gentle manipulation.  It helps to soften and lengthen the fascia by breaking down the adhesions.  It is used to reduce soft-tissue stiffness and aid in post- workout recovery.  The more dense the “tool” the more pain you might experience. Progress from a short “roll” to a longer time.

 MR traditionally required the assistance of a therapist.  We now can perform many of these techniques on our own.  Some of “The Tools”:  Rollers (all shapes and sizes and density)  Balls (a.k.a. pain balls)  “The Stick”  ETC.
