The science:
After a workout, the fascia tissue that lubricates muscles, nerves and blood vessels has slight tears in them. Suppose the tears don’t heal properly; they group and form adhesions. This buildup of tissue can cause pain and discomfort leading to the feeling of tightness even after stretching.
Foam rolling and other forms of self-myofascial release put pressure on these adhesions to release these buildups leading to optimal recovery and thus peak performance.
