I have been suffering from fibromyalgia and myofascia pain syndrome since 2009. (myobuddy.com)
Because myofascia is relatively superficial, it can be influenced through foam rolling (self - myofascial release), which helps to reduce these restrictions by remobilizing the tissue through friction and mechanical stress, helping to return the fascia into its original gel - like state (3).

When you attack you cause the myofascia to contract and over time that becomes its default reaction. (onnit.com)
