What is myofascial release?
MYOFASCIAL derives from Latin words "myo" muscle, and "fascia" band. Myofascial release eases tension from the bands of connecting tissue/fascia. Myofascial release frees constrictions/blockages in the fascia and alleviates connective tissue scarring or injury.
BASICALLY, "the stick" targets smaller muscles while the foam roller provides massage therapy for bigger muscles.
