A firm cylinder used for self-massage by applying body weight to soft tissue.
Why Foam roller matters
Foam rolling may temporarily change comfort or range of motion, but it does not break up scar tissue or replace rehabilitation.
A practical example
Rolling the upper back briefly before training if it helps movement feel more comfortable.
Common mistake
Applying extreme pressure to painful areas or expecting permanent structural change.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
