Quotes to ponder:
"Foam rolling can be thought of as 'self-massage' for those of us who don’t have sport massage therapists handy."
"Magnesium plays a role in almost every crucial process, including cellular energy management and muscular contraction."
"Not moving can actually create more soreness (and for longer) in the long run, as lack of movement stiffens your muscles and reduces circulation."
