It’s good for the mind “letting go” of your tight muscles so you are looser. It’s good for pre workout and that’s about it.

It’s extremely effective but temporary.

I like to get my IT band, upper back, lats, quads, chest, and piriformis.

Foam rolling is great, but it’s not all you need to do. Look at limber 11 for a more complete warm up.

Thanks for the limber eleven recommendation. Any other recommendations?

foam rolling was the missing maintenance for my low back tightness when i started running again appx 2 months ago. i keep multiple foam rollers and lacrosse balls scattered across my personal universe. im a 40 yo xfitter and recent runner and they are a constant maintenance presence.

i focus on the glutes, hams, back (low back specifically), and IT band
