Hello all,
As many of you know I have been a Massage Therapist since 2000. As I have blended my Martial Arts and Massage Therapy backgrounds I have noticed that many Martial Artists do not spend enough time on recovery. They work really hard on their Martial Arts skills and this hard work can lead to Repetitive Use Injuries. The foam roller is a wonderful way to be consistant in the Recovery portion of Conditioning.
The foam roller has been used for years in Physical Therapy and now is available to the general public. You can get them @ most Sporting Goods Stores. While they don’t replace a good Massage Therapist they will go along way to help in your recovery.
Here is a great video on how to use the foam roller. If you can’t seem to get your hands on one. Give me a call @ my Massage Office and I will get you one. Here is my number 810-229-1795.
Happy Rolling,
Shawn
