Myofascial System
The superficial fascia is a soft connective tissue located just below the skin. It wraps and connects the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body. Together, muscle and fascia make up what is called the myofascial system.
Myofascial release is a body work technique. Practitioner uses gentle, sustained pressure on the soft tissues while applying traction to the fascia. It helps to relieve various muscle and joint pains as well as improving flexibility and range of motion.
How Vibrating Roller Works?
The vibration roller not only helps to stretch muscles and tendons, but its digs deep down into those hard to reach areas and helps to break down soft tissue and scar tissue.
Using your own body weight on the cylindrical vibration roller enables one to perform self-massage, myofascial release, break up trigger points, soothe tight fascia, and increase blood flow and circulation throughout the body.
At the same time, different intensities make you more effortless and more effective for deep tendon relaxation.
For more intense massage, try rolling out on a power ball with nodules mimic human fingertips for deeper massage.

Benefits of vibrating PowerRoll
Accelerates Lactic Acid Return to the Body
When there is insufficient oxygen, the body breaks down glucose without oxygen, resulting in lactic acid. It is often associated with cramps and the beginning stages of fatigue, especially after strenuous exercise. A buildup of lactic acid can make muscles feel sore or tired. Vibrating massage ball and roller can help accelerate the body’s breakdown of lactic acid post-workout.
Helps You Relieve Stress
Percussive massage provided by a massage gun helps improve the muscle contraction, which results in the lengthening and strengthening of the muscles and fascial tissues.
Improves Blood Circulation
Healthy blood flow is necessary for healthy tissue and organ function because it permits the continuous exchange of nutrients and waste in the cells, and the stimulation of fluid through the lymphatic system.
Post Injury Tissue Mobility
Tissue mobility is of even greater importance after injury because new layers of fascia are laid down as scar tissue. If this tissue isn’t broken up, mobilized, and properly aligned, it can cause problems in the future. If you are running or doing any sort of exercise on a regular basis, it’s important to keep muscles and fascia healthy and mobile. It might help prevent some of the injuries during training.
Maintains Spine Health
Keeping your body in its natural alignment is important to decrease tension and avoid awkward positioning when doing everyday activities. Vibrating massage roller can be a great addition to a postural alignment program by encouraging muscle balancing and promoting eective spinal movements.
Improves Flexibility
Building up your flexibility is key for any fitness routine. Stretches that lengthen your hip flexors, can help combat tightness from sitting as well as lower back pain. The more flexible your muscles are within normal range of motion, the more power they will be able to produce.
