What’s the Story On Muscle Soreness?

“I’m sore…in a good way.” If you’ve worked out in a gym for any length of time, you’ve probably heard someone say this. You’ve also probably heard quite a few people discuss their muscle soreness because it’s something we all experience, and striving to get in shape can be considered a kind of shared suffering. You’re sore? I can relate! Now we’re friends! Then, there’s the whole “badge of honor” attitude people tend to have about soreness, as if you only truly worked out if you’re unable to walk the next day.

A Brief Guide to Self-Myofascial Release

Self-myofascial release can be an incredible tool to have for your workouts and your recovery. For those who don’t know what it is, myofascial release is soft tissue therapy and is often used for the treatment of muscle pain and immobility. Most commonly, it comes in the form of a foam roller and it focuses primarily on the fascia and other connective tissues in the body, similar to a massage. Myofascial release is used as an alternative treatment for chronic back and neck pain, headaches, migraines, scoliosis, restriction of motion, TMJ or jaw pain, and plantar fasciitis. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford regular massages or an athletic trainer to regularly rub out the kinks, soreness, and tight spots in their muscles caused by exercise. So, the purpose of myofascial release is for people to massage themselves, with the benefit of being able to control precisely where and how much pressure to apply.
