In fact, what we don't know is that running is also a moderate and high-intensity exercise. If we don't exercise correctly or have poor physical fitness, it is easy to cause some sports injuries. So we use some methods to alleviate these sports and injuries, and foam shaft massage is one of them.
At present, a large number of foam shafts are used in our fitness and running fields, and almost every fitness and running person should have a foam shaft. Undeniably, the foam shaft can be obviously improved, which can relieve the pain and tension of our muscles, but if we don't pay attention to some matters in use, it may be misused, thus causing harm to the body!
Today, I will tell you about three wrong usages of foam shaft. I believe that after listening to my introduction, you can use the foam shaft correctly!
first
Press directly on our injured part.
In fact, this is one of our most common mistakes. Indeed, according to our habitual thinking, we may all think that pressing the painful part directly can relieve the pain. In fact, this is a very wrong way, not only will it not alleviate the pain, but it will make our pain worse.
Therefore, when you press, you should massage the area around the painful part first, so that when you massage around, the pain will also be alleviated, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving the pain with a foam shaft!
second
Massage too fast
I often see some people rolling around with foam shafts after I run. According to our thinking, fast rolling can really improve the efficiency of our massage. In fact, this is also a big misunderstanding. If we roll quickly, it is easy to cause further damage to our painful parts, which is very unfavorable to our physical recovery.
Therefore, when we love our teeth, we should take it slowly, not pursue speed, but pursue quality, so that our fascia and muscles can be stretched well and the pain can be relieved!
third
Incorrect posture
Indeed, I have seen many people use the foam shaft in a strange posture because some parts of our bodies have special positions. If these positions are painful, it will be difficult for us to massage without certain knowledge, which will lead to the distortion of our experience and may also cause secondary injuries and new injuries.
Therefore, when we massage, we can ask people around us for help, and complete these massage actions with their assistance, which can well avoid our injuries and prevent secondary injuries.
