Myofascial release therapy targets the thin tissue that covers your muscles, bones, and organs. The pain in these tissues originates at trigger points that are hard to localize. Self-myofascial release therapy (SMFR) works by applying gentle, sustained pressure on areas of restrictions. The KOAPRO Massage Tools are great self-use myofascial release tools with their patented design that mimics a therapist’s hands, fingers, knuckles, and elbows. They are available in 3 sizes - each with unique features that allow you to release, decompress, and loosen tension and pain, wherever you need it.
SMFR research indicates that it can increase flexibility, and reduce muscle soreness, while improving athletic performance. It may lead to improved arterial function, vascular endothelial function, and parasympathetic nervous system activity - all of which can be useful in muscle recovery.
