“I don’t have time to spend ages on a complicated routine. I’d like something simple I can follow at home.”

“I’ve got a foam roller, but I have no idea if I’m using it correctly.”
“I’m active, but I still feel stiff & tight.”
Persistent muscle tightness & restricted movement can affect your comfort & mobility. Foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release, much like having a personal physiotherapist, it can apply controlled pressure to areas of soft-tissue tension. Similar to getting a massage, it may help reduce the sensation of muscle tightness, pain & tension, helping lengthen muscles & improve how the body feels afterwards.
Foam rolling can also increase local blood flow, improve circulation & lymphatic drainage. It can be incorporated before or after exercise & also provides a useful way to promote relaxation & recovery.
“With Suzan’s excellent workout with the foam roller you feel relaxed & if used correctly it can target those niggling areas which you may have from sport injuries & other exercise programs.”
“Since working with Dr Cronje I have discovered the benefits of foam rolling, which I have never really used in my stretch / exercise routine. This is a brilliant comprehensive program to iron out aches & pains or tight muscles in specific areas. Once again, her in depth knowledge of the body is really helpful.”
While foam rolling is generally considered safe & beneficial for many individuals, however, foam rolling applies mechanical pressure to tissues, so it should not be treated as appropriate for every person or every condition. There are certain contraindications or situations where caution should be exercised & medical advice be sought before foam rolling.
