Is there a purpose for foam rolling? What exactly does it do? Could it benefit me? Does it help with soreness? Does it hurt? All these questions over foam rolling are asked quite often believe it or not. Lets start off by explaining what foam rolling is. Foam rolling is a form of self myofascial release that is used to improve physical performance. If the Top Sugar Land Chiropractors chiropractor would ask his or her patients ìDo you do any exercise on your own time?î Many of them will say ìI have stairs in my house so to get to my room or kitchen I have to go up and down the stairsî or they will say ìI walk a lot at workî. But that is not really exercising.
Only because you are not building up anything to help you avoid getting injured. It would be good if you do an exercise or exercises that is different or the opposite of what you do all day. What do I mean by different or opposite? What I mean is if you sit all day at work and if you go to the gym getting on a biking would not be the best choice. Since you sit all day, you want to find something to do standing like stairs for example. So, once you start Top Sugar Land Chiropractors working out more especially the first two weeks or first week only, you will be sore. It may be pain you have never felt but if you are sore you want to continue and stretch that muscle out.
The reason I say continue to workout the next day is because then you wonít go to the gym for a few days or week or however long it takes for the soreness to go away. When you do this, you will just end up in a cycle on going to go workout Top Sugar Land Chiropractors and stopping for days then go again when you feel better then stop again because you are sore. It will take longer for your muscles to get use to you working out. I do not know if it works on everyone, but I know it does on my when after I work out and I am sore I will stretch, and it does feel like I am even more sore Top Sugar Land Chiropractors the next morning.
Which I understand the feeling you are too sore that it even hurts to move but I still force myself to go to the gym. Only because when I stretch again it loosens the muscles and then after my workout and stretch after I usually feel better, and I will be good the next morning to go workout.
Sometimes I wonít even be Top Sugar Land Chiropractors sore anymore but there are times where the soreness is not as bad as it was when I first was sore. When you are sore stretching is the way to go! Trust me I learned my lesson on not stretching before or after a workout because I just thought I was Supergirl. Which is why it is important to stretch and the reason why I am talking about foam rolling. So, our muscles are coated with fascia. Call 281 344 2034 or go to www.restorationhealthtx.com
