Why use the foot roller?
Repetitive strain on the joints and soft tissues of the foot and ankle are often overlooked until the accumulated damage results in sufficient tissue damage, swelling and irritation to cause pain. Nevertheless, these repetitive small injuries to the muscles and tendons in the feet and ankles can lead to bigger and more chronic injuries that will compromise performance and eventually become disabling.
Examples of this type of injury include shin splints, runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, ilio-tibial band syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunctions, and chronic low back pain.
Massage has been proved to help to reduce the swelling and irritation, allowing the muscles to repair quicker.
Stretching has been proved to help keep the elasticity in muscles and tendons, allowing the foot to work more efficiently.
The flexifeet foot roller massages and stretches the foot simultaneously, thereby helping to keep the foot healthy and improving your chances of remaining injury free.
