Use foam rolling as one part of a movement routine
These videos demonstrate foam roller positions and ways to adjust pressure for different regions. Foam rolling may temporarily alter how movement feels or perceived stiffness, but it should complement rather than replace appropriate strengthening and activity.

Common questions
Does foam rolling permanently loosen muscle tissue?
Evidence does not establish permanent physical lengthening of tissue from foam rolling. Many people use it for short-term comfort or range-of-motion changes.
Should foam rolling be painful to work?
No. Pressure can feel firm without being intense. Reduce pressure or stop if you notice sharp, radiating, or lingering pain.
