Foam rolling has been a game changer for my recovery and mobility. It’s like a deep-tissue massage you can do yourself. When I roll out my quads, hamstrings, back, or calves after a workout, I feel the difference the next day—less soreness, better movement, more flexibility.
What’s happening is called myofascial release—you’re loosening tight tissue and improving blood flow to the muscles. If you’ve ever felt stiff or noticed knots, rolling can help work them out. Yes, it can be uncomfortable at first, but it gets easier.
I recommend rolling before workouts to warm up and after to speed up recovery. A few minutes can prevent injuries, improve performance, and help you move better—long term.
