Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.leagendersfitness.com/news/7-foam-rolling-mistakes-to-avoid Quotes to ponder: "Foam rolling is not supposed to cause excruciating pain. It may be a bit uncomfortable at first, but you'll find with regular practice that the pain will lessen." "You'll get better results with five minutes every day of targeted work than 40 minutes once a week." "If it hurts so much that you are tensing your muscles or holding your breath, ease up on the pressure because it's counterintuitive to roll while tensed up."
