If you're one of the many people who spend most of their day sitting at a desk, you may be familiar with the aches and pains that come with a sedentary work environment. But did you know that foam rolling, like we do Monday nights in our Roll Out class, can be a simple and effective way to relieve some of that discomfort?
Roll Out is 45-minutes class that uses Tune-Up Ball foam rolling, a form of self-myofascial release, which involves applying pressure to your muscles and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles) in order to release tension and promote blood flow.
Here are some of the benefits of foam rolling for people who sit at a desk all day:
Relieves tension in the neck, shoulders, and back: Sitting in a chair for long periods of time can cause tightness and stiffness in the upper body. Foam rolling can help release that tension and promote better posture.
Increases circulation: When you foam roll, you're increasing blood flow to the areas you're working on. This can help improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
Improves flexibility and range of motion: Sitting all day can cause your muscles to become tight and inflexible. Foam rolling can help increase your range of motion and flexibility.
Reduces the risk of injury: Tight muscles and limited mobility can increase your risk of injury. By foam rolling regularly, you can help prevent injuries and improve your overall physical health.
So if you spend most of your day sitting at a desk, consider adding our Roll Out class to your weekly routine. It's a simple and effective way to improve your physical health and wellbeing. Join us in the studio Monday night from 8:30-9:15pm.
