Foam rolling is an increasingly common way to release sore muscles and painful trigger points, but many people start off unsure of how to use a foam roller, to fix that we have put together our list of the best foam roller exercises you can do from home and how to do them.
What you are doing when you use a foam roller is known as Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) which basically means self-massage.
Self-massage can also be done using a lacrosse ball or your own hands, but given how easy it to use and transport, we love the foam roller and highly recommend that you either get one or get using it if you already have one!
