Foam Rollers — the basics
Foam rollers are easy-to-use fitness equipment that can soothe pain, quicken recovery from exercise, and reduce injury. Using a foam roller will improve the grip on fitness by priming the muscles and making your workouts more effective. To use it, we slowly roll an area of our body — like the upper back, hips, or calves — back and forth across the top of the roller. It is a top choice and probably the best equipment available around that offers relief from muscle soreness, prevents injuries, and improves flexibility.

Kettler Foam Roller
The Kettler Foam roller is backed by German technology that enhances its performance by miles and provides you with increased athletic performance, improved circulation, and a whole lot more. It can be used for a variety of torso training and massages and is a perfect accessory for pilates or yoga.

Kettler Foam Roller is made using Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate (EVA). As far as the dimensions are concerned, the Kettler foam roller is available in two variants- 14 x 60 cm and 14 x 33 cm making it extremely compact and easy to carry around. It’s available in two colorways — Burgundy and Silver, giving each of them a bold look. From a durability standpoint, it is unbeatable.

How does it work?
The usage of foam roller elicits a neurophysiological response which in turn provides us relief. In simpler words, the sensory input applied via foam roller sends a signal to the brain, commanding it to override the existing sensation of pain, rigidity, or soreness. It works by breaking the fascia surrounding our muscle tissue.

The best thing about Foam rolling is that it is a self-myofascial release (SMR) technique that ensures relief from muscle tightness, soreness, and inflammation, and increases your joint range of motion.

Safety Measures to be taken
Foam roller is safe to use if you experience muscle tightness or soreness. It is advisable however, to avoid foam rolling if you have a serious injury such as a muscle tear or break unless your doctor or a physiotherapist has cleared you first. Also, do not overdo or exceed your reps for that may aggravate your existing discomfort even more.

Avoid rolling over small joints like your knees, elbows, and ankles, which could cause you to hyperextend or damage them. Instead, when foam rolling your legs, roll out your calves first and then your quads separately, avoiding the knee area.

So how do I snag this awesome foam roller? The best and easiest way to grab the Kettler Foam Roller would be by visiting lining.studio or Amazon or Flipkart.
