The Elite Foam Roller is an ideal tool for the effective treatment of muscle pain, tension and trigger points. Through targeted self-massage, hardened or tense muscle tissue is loosened, adhered fascia is released, thereby restoring an overall sense of well-being. Furthermore, it is perfect for preparing the muscles for an intensive workout, as well as for accelerating and supporting recovery after exercise. The Elite Foam Roller thus makes an important contribution to the prevention of sports injuries. To meet individual needs, it is available in various shapes and lengths. The round versions are ideal for back pain and issues caused by muscular imbalances. They provide rapid relief and, thanks to their soothing massage effect, are ideal for stress relief and relaxation. The sturdy construction and unique structure ensure a comfortable rolling action and ease of use. The semi-circular version is an effective tool for promoting balance and stabilisation and is ideal for use in physiotherapy. The Elite Foam Roller Medium is particularly suitable for beginners and those who are more sensitive to pain. What is fascia? Our entire body is criss-crossed by what is known as fascia. This is elastic connective tissue that surrounds all individual parts (muscle fibres, muscle strands, muscle groups,  organs, tendons and bones) . Generally speaking, fasciae serve to provide stability and shape to the areas they enclose. In doing so, they prevent muscles from rubbing against one another whilst also helping to transfer forces from one muscle to another. Adhesions in the fascia are considered one of the main causes of back pain. When the fascia is underused, it becomes matted and brittle. This results in pain and an increased risk of injury. What are the benefits of fascia training with the Elite Foam Roller? The Elite Foam Roller is an ideal fascial tool for the effective treatment  of muscle pain, tension and trigger points. Through targeted self-massage, you can achieve numerous positive effects: Promoting hydration (The majority of fascia consists of water. With the help of our Elite foam roller, you can restore hydration in the fascia)Accelerating recovery (The end products of metabolism dissolved in the fluid are pressed out of the tissue through self-massage with the roller. Fresh fluid flows in, allowing the tissue to recover more quickly) Increased flexibility (Regular use of the foam roller can release tightness and adhesions throughout the entire fascial network. They gradually regain their elasticity and you’ll soon notice a significant improvement in your flexibility) Pain reliefInjury prevention (Using the foam roller makes you more flexible, and flexibility helps prevent injuries)Improved blood circulation (Rolling the foam roller along individual parts of your body improves your blood circulation. The oxygen-rich blood can now flow more freely, better supplying your muscles and organs)Relaxation Product details: Here you will find all the relevant product details.

Material: polypropylene Diameter: 15 cm Colour: Black Available in various versions/lengths How do I use the Elite Foam Roller correctly? To ensure you carry out your fascia training professionally and, above all, correctly, it is worth acquiring at least a basic understanding of the physiology of fascia and the myofascial pathways, including their specific characteristics. Even as a personal trainer, a sound knowledge of myofascial training is essential these days. In our one-day seminar on Functional Myofascial Trainer Basic, you’ll learn how to integrate training with the therapy roller into your training programme or your everyday life.
