Exercise Foam

If your muscles feel sore, then a massage might be just the thing to make you feel better. When you don't have access to a professional masseuse and your mechanical massagers aren't getting the job done, then a foam roller might provide you with the relief you need.

Any type of soreness may benefit from the use of foam rollers. It is most effective, however, for muscle soreness which occurs with a delayed onset.

Delayed onset muscle soreness occurs between 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise. If you haven't worked out in some time, or you've just started a high-intensity workout, then there's a good chance you are familiar with this muscle soreness.

For most people, the muscle soreness after a workout is worse than the pain experienced during the exercise.

That's why foam rollers are becoming a popular option. When used correctly, they will roll your soreness away.
