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)
