Course Overview
Foam rolling (self-myofascial rolling) is a foundational technique in Corrective Exercise. This mini-course builds an evidence-based understanding of how and why myofascial rolling works—from the Cumulative Injury Cycle to mechanical and neurophysiological effects—and shows how to program rolling safely and effectively in practice.
- Understand myofascia, adhesions, and relative flexibility
- Explain local mechanical and global neurophysiological effects
- Apply programming variables: tools, pressure, duration, frequency, sequencing
- Integrate rolling with stretching and activation inside a Corrective Exercise flow
Resources inside: Intro video (Rationale for Inhibitory Techniques), a 14-page downloadable PDF (Introduction to Myofascial Rolling), and a 55-minute NASM Live Event (Essentials of Foam Rolling).
