FOAM ROLLER EXERCISES

Posted on September 26, 2010

Rolling with your MuscleRoll is one of the best, most effective, and most pleasurable ways to give yourself a soothing deep muscle massage. The patent pending 18-rib technology on your MuscleRoll allows you to have many points of contact on the muscle tissue and on the trigger points, which ultimately reduces pain and discomfort. Your MuscleRoll is made of a baby-soft material that exhibits a smooth surface and offers excellent flexibility and resilience. It is buoyant, strong, shock absorbent, flexible, and it is resistant to mildew, mold, rot, and bacteria; it also has a superior chemical resistance. Your MuscleRoll outperforms and outlives other foam rollers, and its unique rib technology, compared to other foam rollers, delivers a superior experience every time. The process involved when using your MuscleRoll is called Self Myofascial Release (SMR), which is a technique used to release tension and realign the body. (The word "myofascial" is derived from the Latin words myo, meaning "muscle," and fascia, meaning "band.") Fascia is tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web, from the head to the toes. Fascia surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in the body. In its normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and able to move without restriction. When the human body engages in any type of activity, whether it's daily walking, standing, light exercise, or strenuous exercise, we generate slight micro-tears in our muscle ...

To complete this How-To you will need: A list of questions to ask potential bunny vets And the ability to sniff out the right choice Step 1: Ask around Of course the simplest way to find a vet who treats rabbits is to ask around. Possible sources of information are rabbit breeders, rescuers, and owners; pet stores; and other veterinarians. Step 2: Ask about spaying Make sure a potential rabbit vet is comfortable with spaying or neutering your bunny. Step 3: Ask about syringe-feeding Ask the vet if he or she can syringe-feed a colicky bunny—and show you how to do it if necessary. Tip: A rabbit vet should be able to help you locate high-quality feed hay—timothy, not alfalfa—and timothy-based rabbit pellets. Step 4: Ask about bunny buddies If a bunny needs to board at the vet for certain procedures, it will often recover faster with a companion. If you own more than one rabbit, ask the vet if he or she will board a "bunny buddy," too. Step 5: Ask about dental care Since many rabbits develop dental ...
