Foam rollers are used for self-myofascial release. Foam back rollers are widely used by personal trainers, their clients and home users. Foam rollers work by using your own body weight to perform self-massage on the selected area. They are ideal for iliotibial bands, quads, hamstrings, clafs and back massage. The use of foam rollers has exploded over the past ten years and will continue to increase. Athletic trainers in high school or small college situations can teach their athletes to perform hands on treatment that might not have been possible due to work schedules, while strength and conditioning coaches can provide a form of massage therapy to all of their athletes. Foam rollers are a small investment to make to see a potentially significant decrease in the number of soft tissue/ non-contact injuries.
