Join Physiotherapist Rob from BodyViva and learn how to stretch & release your tight muscles using a foam roller. 

The workshop will include:

• Explanation of the concepts of foam rolling (What is the purpose of foam rolling? How does it work?)
• Explanation of the general principles that are applied to all foam roll techniques.
• We will then go through and explain, demonstrate, and practice several specific foam roll techniques

Unfortunately, the nature of foam roll techniques mean that there are a few physical requirements people need to have to be able to do the techniques safely. These are summarised as follows:

• Participants must be able to get down and up off the floor safely and without too much difficulty.
• Participants must be able to lean on and take weight through their elbows.
• Participants must be able to take some upper body weight through their arms/hands.
• Anyone with osteoporosis or osteopenia are advised to avoid most foam roll techniques.
