GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. The he alth and fitness professional should be proficient in these techniques prior to client instruction.
2. Hold each position 1-2 minutes for each side (when applicable).
3. If pain is reported, stop rolling and REST on the painful areas for 30-45 seconds.
§ Continuing to roll when pain is present activates the muscle spindles, causing increased tightness and pain.
§ Resting 30-45 seconds on painful areas will stimulate the GTO and autogenically inhibit the muscle spindles; reducing muscular tension and will help regulate fascial receptors.
4. Maintain proper Draw-In Position, which provides stability to the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex during rolling.
5. Clients can perform SMFR Program 1-2 x daily.
SUMMARY
The SMFR Program can help your clients reach their health and fitness goals. Simply by using their own body weight on the rollers, they’ll be reducing pain and tension, and restoring normal muscle length and balance. Optimum muscle balance helps to provide optimum joint motion leading to optimum performance.
WHO SMR IS NOT FOR:
Those with circulatory problems and chronic pain diseases (*e.g. fibromyalgia, rheumatic fever, hypertensive disease) should NOT use foam rollers.
