Cliff Notes
- Unknotting your Fascia
The body consists of layers of fascia that glide on top of each other. These layers can get tangled up after injuries or as a result of other factors. To improve your soft-tissue quality you can use self-massage. - The Tools for Self-Massage
The tools for self-massage range from your hands, over a simple stick or a tennis ball to high quality implements such as the RumbleRoller - Low Cost, High Convenience
Foam-rolling may not be as super-effective as a massage by a professional massage therapist, but it is the next best thing and also more convenient and cheaper.
