Foam rolling: Great activity? Or the greatest activity?

Foam rolling hurts like a motherfucker (at least for my adhesion-packed ass) but it feels so good afterward and it helps so much with tissue health in the medium-long term. Could not agree more with this.

Other nice things to do are rolling the bottom of your foot, shoulders and glutes with a tennis or lacrosse ball. And calves/soleus/peroneals if you're feeling especially masochistic.

you gotta hand it to zgin, though, that was exceptionally well-placed.

High five, zgin.

i must admit, i'm not at all a fan of foam rolling.. for some people, yes, it really does help, mostly with the ITBand.. but honestly, after i stopped foam rolling i actually realized i felt better.. long warmups and post-session stretching i find much more effective, imo.

i have to agree, as cliche/juvenile as it was, his eloquence & use of size 50pt font is to be admired.

yea, but this is what i do as the post-session...i am trying to add in pnf stretching but this is pretty knew to me

so i'll hit static stretching, then pnf, and top it off with the foam rolling

and i always have long warm-ups when i work by myself...actually my warm up is so long it sometimes takes up to 45min if i go slow or get interrupted or something

How should one feel after foam rolling? After I foam roll for 5 mins on the tight part of my quads, I felt tighter (on that part) and I needed to stretch more to release the tension. Is that natural? i felt intense pain on that area. Or is that not tightness at all? Is it a different kind of pain or injury?
