I've spent the last few months making foam rolling part of my life after doing my knee in in February. I discovered a number of things: First I needed to do it. Turns out most of the major muscle groups in my legs needed releasing and with that and stretching I feel a whole lot looser and it has aided my knee recovery.
So at the moment I'm rolling once a day and as I've gone on my technique has got better and I've developed a routine which covers all the areas of my leg. I've reached the stage now where I'm maintaining things. I can roll quite comfortably as opposed to when I started, when it was so painful the screams woke the dog.
I'm now thinking that for certain areas I might need to roll less. That by rolling every day I'm keeping a little bit of soreness and tension in the muscle, so a day would off be good. So I'm wondering what others do, bearing in mind we are all different?
