About the Event

Description:

 Self-massage treatments of muscle and connective tissue with small  rollers, sticks, or balls have gained worldwide popularity. Even more,  foam rolling is one of the most frequently used methods by athletes  and coaches in the sports, health and fitness sector. Studies  demonstrate that rolling, if used correctly, can enhance range of  motion, improve performance, decrease pain, and accelerate recovery.

  However, there are still many misconceptions about essential  parameters such as optimal treatment duration, speed, or intensity.

  The workshop will provide participants with the cutting edge knowledge  about the mechanisms of foam rolling (tissue-specific and neural  adaptations), different techniques (static compression, slow and fast  rolling, shearing), and specific recommendations for different  populations (e.g. young vs. old persons, athletes with or without  pain).

What to expect:

 It will, furthermore, answer the following (and several more)  questions:  - When should I use static and when dynamic rolling? - Should I perform stretching or rolling to improve flexibility? Can I  combine both? - Should foam rolling to improve regeneration be performed before or  after training? - Can I reduce muscle sorness using foam rolling? - How do I treat trigger point pain with rolling? - What are the risks of foam rolling treatments? - Are effects of foam rolling due to local adaptations such as  improved blood flow and reduced stiffness or due to neural adaptations  (e.g. improved pain tolerance)?
