Fascia and Foam Rolling: Can It Really Cause Damage?
Can foam rolling actually rupture or destroy fascia? In this video, we dive into the science of fascia—a remarkable tissue that connects and supports muscles, organs, and more. Learn about deep fascia, its structure, and why it’s built to handle pressure from foam rolling. We also explore why bruising can happen during foam rolling and how it’s linked to blood vessels rather than fascia damage. Discover the resilience of fascia, its role in movement, and why foam rolling can be a safe and effective recovery tool.
