Foam rollers are typically used to relieve muscle tension and soreness, increase flexibility, and improve circulation.
The textured surface of this particular foam roller is designed to provide a deeper massage, targeting specific muscle knots and trigger points.
It is a common tool for both pre-workout muscle activation and post-workout recovery, helping to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Using a foam roller can also have a relaxing effect by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
