Self-Myofascial Release
Lastly, any good prehab regime will contain 5-10 minutes ofself-myofascial release. Massaging yourself might seem as useless as trying to tickle yourself. But if there is a good reason for rubbing your own muscles, it's muscle "knots" or trigger points. These are Sore spots associated with aching and stiffness. Which may be a cause and/or complication of almost anything else that hurts. They may especially be a major factor in low back pain and neck pain. Self-Myofascial Release improves circulation, relaxes the muscles and hips to improve mobility.
