Foam rolling is basically a poor man’s massage. You can buy a foam roller for a very affordable cost ranging from $9.99 up to the fancy one’s for $29.99. You can find them at most sporting good stores and online fitness stores.
Quick Tip - when buying a foam roller, buy the dense foam roller's. Over time you will wear out the less dense rollers and will need a replacement. Spend a few more bucks in the beginning to save in the long run.
The premise is simple. You provide the pressure with a dense piece of foam. The foam roller takes the place of the hands during a massage. You receive the benefits of the massage, without the hefty cost and tip!
This is important for those with who suffer from spondylolisthesis and spondylolysis because we have muscles that are extremely over active. The muscles become overactive due to tightness, weakness, and improper movement. Over time stess is applied to areas not attended to handle stress. This can lead to inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding important areas (hips, pelvis, and low back). Once the irritation and inflammation occur, pain quickly follows.
Foam rolling can help reduce the swelling and soreness of these muscles and soft tissue and speed up recovery. You might have felt some tightness or “knots” in muscles of your hips, upper back, and even your butt. These could be a
result of overuse, poor movement, and inflammed tissue . A great way to take care of this is foam rolling.
