Local and Non-local Effects of Foam Rolling on Passive Soft Tissue Properties and Spinal Excitability

Local and Non-local Effects of Foam Rolling on Passive Soft Tissue Properties and Spinal Excitability

In sports and clinical settings, roller massage (RM) interventions are used to acutely increase range of motion (ROM); however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Apart from changes in soft tissue properties (i.e., reduced passive stiffness), neurophysiological alterations such as decreased spin...
