1. Although foam rolling gives you that “good hurt” feeling it only hits the surface. Any brand claiming that their roller breaks up scar tissue, releases trigger points, or muscle adhesions is simply delivering you fake news. The current body of science shows that rolling only provides temporary relief.
2. Rolling around on a ball or a roller doesn’t always help and in fact can have adverse affects. The more you roll, the more your body accommodates. This means that the temporary relief you’re getting will actually decrease leaving you wanting more.
3. Rolling does not address the underlying cause of movement dysfunction. Many people who have mobility problems will hop on a roller or pound their body with a massage ball and not realize the root of their mobility deficit is the joint and not the muscle. So again, rolling is not getting deep enough to change anything at the level of the joint.
4. In order to target specific muscles you need to have a small surface area however every roller on the market is as wide as it is useless. People will suggest a lacrosse ball or massage ball to target the smaller areas but again, rolling is like taking an otc pain killer. It does not address the root of the mobility deficit.
