This is how we roll! Do Foam Rollers Aid Workouts?

We get asked a lot if foam rolling before and after a workout really helps. (A: It does!!!) 

We recently received a great article/blog post on the benefits of using a foam roller written by the New York Times titled Ask Well: Do Foam Rollers Aid Workouts? This article answers the question "What does research say about the benefits of foam rolling?" In experiments over seen by researchers, volunteers who rolled back and forth with one of the devices under their leg muscles from five seconds to one minute showed  a significant increase in those muscle's range of motion immediately after. And unlike static stretching (holding one stretch for a long duration of time) foam rolling did not have a negative impact on force production.
