Video Details

Understanding the importance of recovery in fitness is essential for anyone looking to enhance their performance and overall well-being. One key aspect of recovery is myofascial release, which helps alleviate muscle tension and improve flexibility. Myofascial release techniques, using tools like lacrosse balls and foam rollers, can greatly reduce soreness and improve your range of motion, allowing you to train harder and more effectively without the risk of injury.

To start with myofascial release, you’ll need a lacrosse ball (or a sturdy spiky ball) and a foam roller. Begin by targeting your shoulders: lie on your back with the ball placed under your shoulder, then lean into it and make small, circular movements. If you find a tender spot, stay there for a little while to really feel the release. Next, place the ball on the floor and target your chest and the front of your shoulders the same way by rolling over those areas. To enhance shoulder mobility, grab a resistance band attached to a sturdy point, bending at your hips rather than your back; this will help lift your arms and improve motion. Finally, use the foam roller for your lats by lying on your side and adjusting your body position to find those tight areas, ensuring you’re addressing both major and minor muscle groups effectively.

In summary, incorporating myofascial release into your recovery routine is invaluable. Not only does it help you bounce back from workouts quicker, but it also reduces the risk of injury and enhances overall mobility and performance. By making a habit of these simple techniques, you can train harder, recover faster, and enjoy your fitness journey with minimal discomfort.

Highlights:

  • Use a lacrosse ball or foam roller to target tight muscles during recovery.
  • Focus on the shoulders, chest, and lats for effective myofascial release.
  • Incorporate resistance bands to enhance shoulder mobility and improve range of motion.

so the second part of the recovery work
2.25
is going to involve what we call
4.52
myofascial release I'm not going to go
7.529
too much in depth with this that you
10.469
know there's a lot of information out
12.3
there regarding myofascial release and
14.28
one of the primary websites I would
16.83
really really recommend you going to
18.75
check out is a website called mobility
21.06
WOD for workout of the day and this is
24.99
run by a gentleman called Kelly Starrett
27.96
I'll put the link in the description he
30.48
has some fantastic books and videos out
33.93
regarding how to do my fashion release
37.02
and stretching for absolutely any
39.42
situation okay so going into the
42.6
myofascial release part we're going to
44.219
use two tools potentially the bands as
47.039
well but the two tools is going to be a
48.66
lacrosse ball this is actually not a
51.39
lacrosse ball this is a really hard
53.82
spiky ball I'd prefer this because it
56.76
gets into the muscles a little bit
58.289
better than a round lacrosse ball but a
60.809
lacrosse ball is perfectly fine for what
63.39
you need and a foam roller as well so a
66.9
foam roller you can get pretty cheap
68.369
I'll put links in the description
70.02
regarding where to get this stuff and
72.15
how to get it but these things are going
75.689
to be very very valuable to you for any
78.06
recovery work you do so the first one
80.88
we're going to look at again is the
82.799
shoulder for myofascial release so what
85.32
we're going to do is use the lacrosse
87.33
ball on the shoulder okay
89.189
so first things first you want to lie
91.56
down on your back and you're going to
96.21
paste the lacrosse ball under the back
99.45
of the shoulder here okay and now what
102.659
you can do is lean onto it and you can
106.11
start rolling around small circles on
109.68
the back of that shoulder you're going
110.97
to feel that there's real tender point
113.04
right there and you stay there you hang
116.28
out there and enjoy the release from the
119.159
lacrosse ball the second method that you
123.689
can use for the same position is if you
125.969
put your arm out and don't move the
128.58
shoulder all you're going to do is move
130.8
the arm down
134.04
and you really gonna feel that a lot on
137.549
the back of the shoulder
138.78
okay so we're focus on the back of the
141.689
shoulder now we're gonna have a look at
143.159
the front of the shoulder
144.9
okay and also the chest so these two
148.14
parts you can kind of do in one go and
150.78
again it's very similar you're going to
152.879
place them lacrosse ball on the floor so
154.709
I'll face the other way and you're going
157.2
to place it on the chest here
159.72
you're going to roll around all the way
161.549
across to the shoulder and on to the
164.34
chest
164.819
okay so again we'll lie down under the
169.709
chest and from here you can roll around
173.43
and on to the shoulder and back if you
178.169
find a really tender point just hang out
180.51
there see if we can find a knot this is
184.62
really gonna help kind of release that
186.48
tension next one up we're actually gonna
189.81
help the range of motion of your arms
192.629
okay so what we're going to do again is
195.599
use the band here so you connect it up
198.18
to a bar or something that you have that
200.129
you can connect it to and all you're
202.769
going to do is you're going to grab the
205.04
band and you're going to bend over from
208.5
the hip so don't let the back do the
210.599
work you've got back straight bend from
212.669
the hip and this is going to help pull
215.76
your arms up and it's going to start
218.22
increasing the range of motion in your
221.22
shoulders so the more you can bit down
223.769
can go back straight the more it's gonna
226.199
help bring your arms up next up we're
229.229
going to again look at the lats
230.819
so those primary muscles we're going to
233.639
use the foam roller now so this time
236.489
place it on the floor and again we want
239.31
to target those lats on the side so what
241.949
we can do is lie down on our side and
245.93
just focus on getting that foam roller
249.379
under the ribcage and onto the muscle
253.59
now you're gonna have to turn away a
255.9
little bit the more you come onto the
257.699
side the more you're going to be hitting
259.199
your QL and your ribcage what you want
262.95
to do is come across slightly to the
265.169
back and you can roll up
267.41
and then another thing to think about is
271.25
if you want to if you bring your arms
273.71
across your chest like this what this
275.24
does is it kind of tightens the tissue
278.03
on your back and your flesh and it means
280.52
that you can really target those muscle
283.94
groups a little bit more and a little
285.56
bit better as an extra little point if
288.53
you feel that on your lats the foam
291.44
roller is not hitting them quite in the
293.9
right places and you feel that you're
295.37
not getting everywhere don't forget you
298.46
can use your lacrosse ball again this is
300.5
going to allow you to target a much
302.09
smaller area and again you can just
304.7
learn your back and use the ball to roll
307.58
around or firing those tight knots that
310.01
you want to kind of release out and just
311.99
hang out and spend some time in those so
315.41
finally we're going to go full circle
317.63
and come back to the forearms again we
321.14
can use the lacrosse ball for this just
323.96
get down onto your knees and you just
326.87
place the ball down and you're gonna put
329.24
your weight on to the ball with your
331.82
forearm and then use the other hand to
334.31
apply more pressure and you can just
336.83
roll up and down like that so there you
341.27
have it for the recovery work don't
343.49
neglect the recovery stretching and
346.01
myofascial release is absolutely
348.32
essential and it means that you're going
350.39
to be able to train for longer it means
352.22
you can get back into that second
353.99
session quicker the fatigue is going to
356.78
go quicker and also it means that you're
358.88
going to be injury free for a lot longer
369.169
you

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
so the second part of the recovery work

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
is going to involve what we call

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000

and stretching for absolutely any

regarding where to get this stuff and

30
00:00:72,000 --> 00:01:17,000
how to get it but these things are going

to feel that there's real tender point

45
00:00:113,000 --> 00:01:59,000
right there and you stay there you hang

46
00:00:116,000 --> 00:01:63,000
out there and enjoy the release from the

47
00:00:119,000 --> 00:01:65,000
lacrosse ball the second method that you

put your arm out and don't move the

50
00:00:128,000 --> 00:01:73,000
shoulder all you're going to do is move

51
00:00:130,000 --> 00:01:73,000
the arm down

52
00:00:134,000 --> 00:01:78,000
and you really gonna feel that a lot on

53
00:00:137,000 --> 00:01:81,000
the back of the shoulder

54
00:00:138,000 --> 00:01:82,000
okay so we're focus on the back of the

55
00:00:141,000 --> 00:01:84,000
shoulder now we're gonna have a look at

56
00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:87,000
the front of the shoulder

57
00:00:144,000 --> 00:01:89,000
okay and also the chest so these two

58
00:00:148,000 --> 00:01:92,000
parts you can kind of do in one go and

59
00:00:150,000 --> 00:01:93,000
again it's very similar you're going to

60
00:00:152,000 --> 00:01:96,000
place them lacrosse ball on the floor so

61
00:00:154,000 --> 00:01:99,000
I'll face the other way and you're going

62
00:00:157,000 --> 00:01:101,000
to place it on the chest here

63
00:00:159,000 --> 00:01:103,000
you're going to roll around all the way

64
00:00:161,000 --> 00:01:104,000
across to the shoulder and on to the

65
00:00:164,000 --> 00:01:109,000
chest

66
00:00:164,000 --> 00:01:112,000
okay so again we'll lie down under the

67
00:00:169,000 --> 00:01:117,000
chest and from here you can roll around

68
00:00:173,000 --> 00:01:120,000
and on to the shoulder and back if you

69
00:00:178,000 --> 00:01:124,000
find a really tender point just hang out

70
00:00:180,000 --> 00:01:125,000
there see if we can find a knot this is

71
00:00:184,000 --> 00:01:129,000
really gonna help kind of release that

72
00:00:186,000 --> 00:01:132,000
tension next one up we're actually gonna

73
00:00:189,000 --> 00:01:134,000
help the range of motion of your arms

74
00:00:192,000 --> 00:01:137,000
okay so what we're going to do again is

75
00:00:195,000 --> 00:01:139,000
use the band here so you connect it up

76
00:00:198,000 --> 00:01:142,000
to a bar or something that you have that

77
00:00:200,000 --> 00:01:144,000
you can connect it to and all you're

78
00:00:202,000 --> 00:01:147,000
going to do is you're going to grab the

79
00:00:205,000 --> 00:01:150,000
band and you're going to bend over from

80
00:00:208,000 --> 00:01:152,000
the hip so don't let the back do the

81
00:00:210,000 --> 00:01:155,000
work you've got back straight bend from

82
00:00:212,000 --> 00:01:157,000
the hip and this is going to help pull

83
00:00:215,000 --> 00:01:160,000
your arms up and it's going to start

84
00:00:218,000 --> 00:01:163,000
increasing the range of motion in your

85
00:00:221,000 --> 00:01:165,000
shoulders so the more you can bit down

86
00:00:223,000 --> 00:01:168,000
can go back straight the more it's gonna

87
00:00:226,000 --> 00:01:170,000
help bring your arms up next up we're

88
00:00:229,000 --> 00:01:173,000
going to again look at the lats

89
00:00:230,000 --> 00:01:175,000
so those primary muscles we're going to

90
00:00:233,000 --> 00:01:178,000
use the foam roller now so this time

91
00:00:236,000 --> 00:01:181,000
place it on the floor and again we want

92
00:00:239,000 --> 00:01:185,000
to target those lats on the side so what

93
00:00:241,000 --> 00:01:188,000
we can do is lie down on our side and

94
00:00:245,000 --> 00:01:192,000
just focus on getting that foam roller

95
00:00:249,000 --> 00:01:195,000
under the ribcage and onto the muscle

96
00:00:253,000 --> 00:01:197,000
now you're gonna have to turn away a

97
00:00:255,000 --> 00:01:198,000
little bit the more you come onto the

98
00:00:257,000 --> 00:01:202,000
side the more you're going to be hitting

99
00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:204,000
your QL and your ribcage what you want

100
00:00:262,000 --> 00:01:206,000
to do is come across slightly to the

101
00:00:265,000 --> 00:01:211,000
back and you can roll up

102
00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:213,000
and then another thing to think about is

103
00:00:271,000 --> 00:01:214,000
if you want to if you bring your arms

104
00:00:273,000 --> 00:01:217,000
across your chest like this what this

105
00:00:275,000 --> 00:01:220,000
does is it kind of tightens the tissue

106
00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:223,000
on your back and your flesh and it means

107
00:00:280,000 --> 00:01:225,000
that you can really target those muscle

108
00:00:283,000 --> 00:01:227,000
groups a little bit more and a little

109
00:00:285,000 --> 00:01:230,000
bit better as an extra little point if

110
00:00:288,000 --> 00:01:233,000
you feel that on your lats the foam

111
00:00:291,000 --> 00:01:234,000
roller is not hitting them quite in the

112
00:00:293,000 --> 00:01:237,000
right places and you feel that you're

113
00:00:295,000 --> 00:01:240,000
not getting everywhere don't forget you

114
00:00:298,000 --> 00:01:241,000
can use your lacrosse ball again this is

115
00:00:300,000 --> 00:01:244,000
going to allow you to target a much

116
00:00:302,000 --> 00:01:247,000
smaller area and again you can just

117
00:00:304,000 --> 00:01:249,000
learn your back and use the ball to roll

118
00:00:307,000 --> 00:01:251,000
around or firing those tight knots that

119
00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:255,000
you want to kind of release out and just

120
00:00:311,000 --> 00:01:256,000
hang out and spend some time in those so

121
00:00:315,000 --> 00:01:260,000
finally we're going to go full circle

122
00:00:317,000 --> 00:01:263,000
and come back to the forearms again we

123
00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:266,000
can use the lacrosse ball for this just

124
00:00:323,000 --> 00:01:268,000
get down onto your knees and you just

125
00:00:326,000 --> 00:01:270,000
place the ball down and you're gonna put

126
00:00:329,000 --> 00:01:274,000
your weight on to the ball with your

127
00:00:331,000 --> 00:01:276,000
forearm and then use the other hand to

128
00:00:334,000 --> 00:01:280,000
apply more pressure and you can just

129
00:00:336,000 --> 00:01:282,000
roll up and down like that so there you

130
00:00:341,000 --> 00:01:285,000
have it for the recovery work don't

131
00:00:343,000 --> 00:01:287,000
neglect the recovery stretching and

132
00:00:346,000 --> 00:01:290,000
myofascial release is absolutely

133
00:00:348,000 --> 00:01:291,000
essential and it means that you're going

134
00:00:350,000 --> 00:01:293,000
to be able to train for longer it means

135
00:00:352,000 --> 00:01:296,000
you can get back into that second

136
00:00:353,000 --> 00:01:297,000
session quicker the fatigue is going to

137
00:00:356,000 --> 00:01:302,000
go quicker and also it means that you're

138
00:00:358,000 --> 00:01:302,000
going to be injury free for a lot longer

139
00:00:369,000 --> 00:01:311,000
you
