How to Use a Vibrating Foam Roller
I just received a vibrating foam roller as a gift and I am looking for how to use a vibrating foam roller for the best results. I have used a regular one for years but the vibration is a whole new experience. I have heard that it is supposed to help with blood flow and desensitizing the pain receptors in the muscle.
I am wondering if I should use it the same way as a normal roller or if I should just hold it on specific spots without moving as much. I am in the US and I find that the vibration feels great on my sore calves and glutes. I want to make sure I am not overdoing it with the intensity settings though.
Do you guys prefer the vibrating rollers over the standard ones? Do you think they are actually more effective for recovery or is it just a fancy feature? I would love to hear your tips for getting the most out of this new piece of equipment. I am excited to see if it makes a difference!
