Roll Away the Pain: Increase Muscle
Elasticity and Improve Flexibility with these Exercises
A foam roll can give an effective massage,
and it won't stand there waiting for a tip. Do these exercises to
improve your flexibility and increase muscle elasticity, advises
Michael Lovegren, M.S., of Kinetic Loop training, in Greeley, Colorado.
For each move, roll over the specified area, pausing at tender spots
for 20 seconds.

1. Injury: Plantar Fasciitis
Stand with one foot
on a foam roll, with that knee slightly bent. Progress to rolling on
two feet. Use a doorway to help you balance.
2. Injury: Calf Strain
Place a foam roll under one or both
of your lower legs and glide up and down the roll. Keep your toes
pulled toward you.
3. Injury: Runner's /
Jumper's Knee
Position yourself on your side with
a foam roll under your thigh. Roll from your hip to just above your
knee. For greater pressure, stack your legs one on top of the other.
4. Injury: Shinsplints
Balance on both hands with your
shins resting on a foam roll. Roll from just below your knees to your
ankles.
