STRETCH AND ROLL
Self-myofascial release using the foam roller
DATE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15
TIME: 9:30 TO 11:00 A.M.
Join Personal Trainer William Lee for an hour and a half class showing the benefits of flexibility, stretching, and self-myofascial release using the foam roller.
Primary functions of muscles include creating tension and producing force for movement of the body’s skeletal system. The intrinsic property of muscles and joints to go through a full or optimal range of motion (ROM) is referred to as flexibility. Stretching is viewed as a necessary part of any fitness program. It is a way to avoid injury, reduce muscle soreness, and improve muscular strength and performance. Flexibility has been shown to decrease up to 50 percent with age in some joint areas!
Although stretching is great for the body, it goes hand in hand with foam rolling. Foam rolling will lengthen and release some tension from the muscles. We can reduce aches and pains that people of all ages experience with the use of a foam roller.
This technique, known as self-myofascial release (SMR), will help relieve those pesky sore spots. SMR techniques can improve flexibility, function and performance and even reduce injuries.
