I have always thoroughly enjoyed rolling on my foam roller after having a heavy sparring session at Jiu Jitsu – instantly you are able to release the tension from the muscles you have tightened through working hard.

Foam Rollers are available in sports stores, major shopping outlets and of course online. I definitely think having one of these is a great investment for your health.
