What is a Foam Roller and where do I get one?

Our muscles can become tight from both exercise and everyday use. A foam roller is used to help stretch out tight muscles (self myofascial release). Since runners typically have tight IT Bands, glutes and hamstrings, a foam roller is a great tool to prevent injuries. You will be given instruction on how to use your foam roller properly in class and how to keep your body injury free! You can purchase a foam roller on line at www.optp.com: AXR126 OPTP AXIS Roller - Round - 12" x 6" or from Dr. Michelle Zarzana here in Long Beach (562) 498-4455. (Size: 12" x 6" or 18" x 6")
