So you said that when you pull your muscle, it means that the fibers are torn. And the whole point of going to gym, is to tear your muscle fibers so that they can regenerate, therefore is it still okay to use a foam roller one day after a gym session??
No, it is 2 different things. Going to the gym produces micro-trauma and cell damage that is not the same as tearing a muscle. It is a totally different process. It is fine to use a foam roller day after gym ad it can make your muscles feel more comfortable.
Very helpful as always, thanks a lot

What are the well blocks (spelling?). Do you have a link please? Thanks. Great videos.
They're called Wellbricks, but as far as we know, the company doesn't exist anymore.
Many thanks...
Hello, can we use it for hamstring tendinopathy ? thank you
Some people find it useful, but just be very gentle when it comes to the top part and don’t hammer the sit-bone.
Hi, thank you! Should I foam roll before or after stretching?
It's up to you - there is no evidence that it is better to do it in a specific order, so do what you prefer or feels work best for you.
Thank you very much!
my podiatrist has said I have to stretch my calfs and hamstrings should I use a foam roller before the stretching
It depends on why your podiatrist told you to stretch - best to ask them.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio he said they were a short length
Can I foam roll if I have Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy?
You can roll the muscle but it is usually best to avoid where the tendon attaches to the bone.
