Early Sport Advancement Kingborough Lions United Football Club
Football Tasmania(soccer) now requires all young players who are asked to play at a higher level to be tested. We have developed a compliant testing procedure that has been applied by Dr Sam. This has helped fast-track some Lions players. Can we help your club? (assessment includes spinal screening, lower limb and core function, ACL risk factors, balance and co-ordination). The goal is to ensure that our young players are safe and fit playing at the higher level.
What you NEED TO KNOW about Foam Rolling
What you NEED TO KNOW about foam rolling
Is foam rolling good for you? Will it fix your back pain? Is it safe to foam roll?
Foam rolling is a widely used recovery tool utilised in the fitness injury, designed to decrease muscle tension and improve mobility. Chances are you see them at the gym or might have one at home- you may have even tried it without knowing how and when to use it... you could potentially be making your back pain worse!
Your questions answered!
What are the benefits of foam rolling?
- Decrease accumulated stress and tightness through the thoracic spine, hips pelvis and legs in a healthy individual.
- Faster recovery
When should i use it?
- When I have muscle fatigue, sore after exercise (DOMs), feel stiff.
When should i AVOID using it?
- With any chronic or acute pain- Using it now could make it worse!!
- If you experience in pinching, grabbing or dizziness
- If you have Osteoporosis, Arthritis, or significant Scoliosis
- History of fracture, steroid use, blood thinners,vertigo
Will it fix my back pain?
- No. It may help to reduce the symptoms of your back pain temporarily, however it will not address any underlying joint dysfunction or the driving forces behind your back pain
- It is however a great tool to help hold your adjustments for longer and to actively participate in your recovery. Ask your Chiropractor at your next adjustment :)
There are so many different foam rollers, which one should I use?
- Our favourite foam roller for every occasion is the blue 90cm EVA foam roller. It is smooth, a little softer, and great for postural exercises (upcoming videos). You can get these at KMART, most fitness stores, or online.
- From here you can go up in foam density as you are ready
- Stay away from aggressive spikes!
Can I use foam rolling in addition to doing Dr Sam's exercise videos?
- Yes! But always seek advice from your Chiropractor to see what is appropriate for your needs
