Have you just gotten back into the fitness swing? Either way, there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019re experiencing a case of<strong> delayed onset muscle soreness<\/strong> or <strong>DOMS<\/strong> in short.<\/p>\n<p>DOMs are those aches and pains that you experience when you haven\u2019t used a set of muscles in a while. Muscles that have been hibernating are suddenly woken up, and oh boy &#8211; you feel it. It\u2019s that burn you feel in your abs, quads, glutes, biceps, triceps \u2013 or whatever other muscles your new workout is focusing on. While many like to say that DOMs <em>\u201churt so bad, it feels good\u201d<\/em>, in reality, there\u2019s nothing that feels good about that tight, burning sensation.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where foam rollers come to the rescue. If you loathe the idea of wincing pain after a workout, you\u2019re definitely going to want to look into foam rolling and its benefits.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-are-Foam-Rollers\"><\/span>What are Foam Rollers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen them in gyms or in your local sporting goods store, but just in case you haven\u2019t\u2026 Foam rollers are a form of exercise equipment. Usually, they\u2019re cylindrical and long, like in the photo below; however, they are an assortment of shapes, sizes, and even textures to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MGz4Gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4120 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/basic-foam-roller-black-1024x489.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"247\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/basic-foam-roller-black.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/basic-foam-roller-black-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/basic-foam-roller-black-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/basic-foam-roller-black-20x10.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-do-Foam-Rollers-do\"><\/span>What do Foam Rollers do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Foam rollers are used for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25603749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">myofascial release<\/a><\/strong>. What\u2019s myofascial release? It\u2019s a practice that involves the application of sustained pressure to myofascial tissues \u2013 the connective tissues that run throughout your body and support your muscles and bones.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of myofascial release is to <strong>encourage muscles that have contracted to release<\/strong>. Releasing the contracted muscles helps to increase the flow of blood and nutrients to the affected area, which helps to minimize pain.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the benefits of foam roller use? They offer a myriad of benefits, but here\u2019s a look at the top five\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Promote-Blood-Flow\"><\/span>1. Promote Blood Flow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4315 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/blood-1813410_1920-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/blood-1813410_1920-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/blood-1813410_1920-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/blood-1813410_1920.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/blood-1813410_1920-20x10.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>As mentioned, myofascial release helps to promote blood flow to the contracted muscles. When the muscles are contracted, blood can\u2019t properly flow to the area, which leads to pain. Applying <strong>gentle, sustained pressure<\/strong> to the site where you\u2019re feeling DOMS will help improve the flow of blood to the connective tissues and the muscles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Enhance-Movement-pre-workout\"><\/span>2. Enhance Movement (pre-workout)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4316\" src=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jogging-2343558_1920-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jogging-2343558_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jogging-2343558_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jogging-2343558_1920.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jogging-2343558_1920-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>When blood flows properly through the muscles, they move better. As such, when you\u2019re working out, your muscles will be able to glide with ease, which leads to smoother movements. When your movements are more fluid, there\u2019s <strong>less of a chance that you\u2019ll pull a muscle mid-workout<\/strong>. It\u2019s for this very reason that athletes use foam rollers before they engage in a workout or a competition.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Improve-Range-of-Motion\"><\/span>3. Improve Range of Motion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Blood lubricates muscles, and well-lubricated muscles have a <strong>better range of motion<\/strong>. When you have a better range of motion, you can use more of your muscles in a workout; when you use more muscles, you have a more successful workout.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Reduce-Injuries\"><\/span>4. Reduce Injuries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Increased circulation through your muscles and connective tissues enhances your movements and increases your range of motion, which leads to more effective movement. The more effectively your body moves, the less likely it is that you\u2019ll sustain an injury. Why? \u2013 Because your body will move more fluidly, and <strong>more fluid movements mean less risk of injury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Less-Delayed-Onset-Muscle-Soreness\"><\/span>5. Less Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4318 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/muscle-soreness-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/muscle-soreness-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/muscle-soreness-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gohomerelax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/muscle-soreness.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Lastly, myofascial release can help to minimize the stiffness, pain, and burning sensation that is associated with DOMS. That aching pain can kick in a day or two after you\u2019ve completed a workout, and it can throw a wrench in your fitness routine.<\/p>\n<p>All of the above-mentioned benefits that foam rollers offer can significantly <strong>reduce the risk of pain and soreness<\/strong> that often occurs after a new workout or when you\u2019re active after a period of relative inactivity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-Should-You-Foam-Roll\"><\/span>Why Should You Foam Roll?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Given the distinct benefits that foam rollers provide, it\u2019s easy to see why you should invest time in the activity; but, in case you need some specific reasons why you should consider foam rolling, here\u2019s a couple of great reasons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foam-Roller-Benefits-for-Back-Pain\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">Foam Roller Benefits for Back Pain<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re suffering from back pain, foam rolling can help to alleviate your discomfort. It\u2019s no secret that massage is an effective way to minimize back pain. When you use a foam roller, you\u2019re essentially practicing self-massage.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your back pain is a side effect of DOMS, or it\u2019s a chronic ailment, the improved circulation and enhanced range of motion that foam rollers provide can help to alleviate discomfort you are experiencing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foam-Roller-Benefits-for-Runners\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">Foam Roller Benefits for Runners<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a runner, engaging in foam rolling before you lace up your sneakers \u2013 and after you take them off \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6465761\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be highly beneficial<\/a>. The increased blood flow, improved range of motion, and enhanced flexibility you\u2019ll experience will make your workouts more effective, reduce the risk of injuries, and speed up your recovery time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foam-Roller-Benefits-for-Cellulite\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">Foam Roller Benefits for Cellulite<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While the practice of foam rolling is often associated with reduced pain, greater flexibility, improved motion, and faster recovery time (among other things), it can also offer a superficial benefit; it can minimize the appearance of cellulite.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to reduce inflammation and promotes lymphatic drainage, which encourages detoxification; it also strengthens the connective tissues. All of these things combined can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite and make your skin appear smoother.<\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"height: 20%; width: 50%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #00a331;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Keep in mind that the best way to get rid of cellulite is through healthy diet, fat loss and muscle building. While foam rolling can reduce the appearance of cellulite, losing weight and replacing it with muscle will work much better.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Bottom-Line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re an athlete, a serious fitness enthusiast, a casual runner,\u00a0 suffering from back pain, or you want to enhance your appearance, foam rolling is worth your while. Getting into the habit of myofascial release is a fantastic way to enhance your overall health and well-being. It will help you get more out of your workouts, reduce pain; and it will make you feel better \u2013 and look better, too!<\/p>\n<p>Check out your gym to see if there are foam rolling classes you can enroll in, or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MGz4Gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get one from Amazon<\/a> to engage in the activity on your own with some handy DIY workout videos; either way, you\u2019ll be sure to reap numerous benefits when you make this practice a part of your regular routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you recently add a new workout to your routine?
