MYOFASCIAL RELEASE FOR INJURY PREVENTION AND RECOVERY

[BigKrabbe]

Just curious if anyone else uses myofascial release for injury prevention or recovery? It is amazing!!!! My mom is a medical massage therapist and informed me of it about a year ago. I have very problematic shoulders and hips...since beginning self myofascial release my shoulders/hips are significantly better, and when my rotator cuffs do bother me within a few days of rolling out if not immediately I have relief. I have switched to using a pvc pipe vs. a foam roller and the results are awesome. Painful but worth it. Thoughts?
Opinions?
Input?

Love it. Tons of different ways to do it, all are great.

I've started rolling on a PVC pipe 2-3 times a day for the last week and a half or so. It seems to be helping with some IT band and hip flexor tightness that had been bothering me. I'll SQ tomorrow and that will really tell me how much it's helping.
