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).
This type of foam roller was used
because it places more pressure on the
myofascia compared with a Bio-foam roller made from uniform polystyrene foam (15.24 - cm diameter)(15).
