I bought this exercise set for home exercises. My back feel so good after being loosen and massage by by the foam roller (myofascial).
I did some arm work with the elastic band and roll the ball underneath my feet. My body feels release and energized.
I usually sitting and working with my laptop for long hours. Doing Self Myofascial Release helps loosen my stiff shoulder muscles.
What Is Self Myofascial Release?
“Self”– Obvious answer here- to perform by yourself.
“Myofascial”– Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds our muscles, bones, nerves and organs.
“Release”– relieving or letting go of, in this case, tension
Combined, you have a self-induced form of recovery that relieves or releases tension from the fascia surrounding your muscles.
As points of restriction or tension build up in the fascia, muscles begin to feel tense, tight, or even painful.
By applying pressure with different self myofascial release tools, you can decrease the points of restriction, increase blood flow to help with recovery, and increase range of motion.

The benefits of self myofascial release for fitness enthusiasts are strong and pretty well documented.
The main benefits of self myofascial release are:

Both of our physical and astral body need exercises for a total excellent health.
