I Tried the Full-Body Recovery Machine at Body Roll Studio In NYC Shape 12/11/2020 Mallory Creveling
I m a firm believer in the benefits of foam rolling. I swore by the self-myofascial release technique both before and after long runs when I trained for a marathon last fall. It taught me the power of recovery for getting through long training days and months.
Research backs up some of the benefits of foam rolling, too. One meta-analysis suggests foam rolling pre-workout can improve flexibility in the short term and may help alleviate muscle soreness when done after exercise. (Related: How Bad Is It to Just Foam Roll When You re Sore?)
