Foam rolling, a form of self-myofascial release (SMR), improves post-workout recovery by reducing muscle soreness (DOMS), increasing flexibility, and enhancing joint range of motion. It increases blood flow to muscles, breaks down scar tissue, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent injury, making it effective for both warm-ups and cooldowns.
