How to use a foam roller
The MNML Foam Roller helps release muscle tension, improve mobility, and speed up recovery. Ideal for pre-workout prep or post-session relief, it's your go-to tool for rolling out tight spots and staying ready to train. Here are some suggested uses and tips:
Pre-Workout Warm-Up
Use light rolling to increase blood flow and loosen tight muscles:
Quads
Hamstrings
Calves
Glutes
Upper back (thoracic spine)
Lats
Hip flexors
🧠 Just 30–60 seconds per muscle group can prep your body for movement.
Post-Workout Recovery
Apply more pressure to reduce muscle soreness and tension:
Roll slowly over sore spots
Pause and hold on tight areas for 20–30 seconds
Breathe deeply to relax the muscle
Mobility & Flexibility
Use the foam roller to assist in:
Increasing range of motion (e.g. before squats)
Loosening stiff joints (especially hips and shoulders)
Improving posture and spinal extension (e.g. lying on roller lengthwise)
Injury Prevention & Rehab
Great for:
IT band tension relief
Shin splint management
Plantar fasciitis (roll the sole of your foot)
Lower back tightness (gently roll or arch over)
