Foam Roller
I have just resumed running from injury, stress fracture. However this Monday, I got injured left leg (calf). It is probably a pulled muscle. I had not run for 6 months due to the injury, my leg was getting weak. I thought I did enough warm-up and stretching before training. It happened in the 5th lap of interval. I did slow down when I felt pain. It's been for 4 days, it seems to be no pain for just walking, but when I just jog, I feel a little pain. It is not really serious and it can be recovered within a few weeks.
This week I am doing stretching and foam rolling. I just put my leg on a plastic foam and just rolling the foam. I feel it is very effective like getting massage.
Something like this, just roll the foam
Originally, we got this foam when my wife got a pulled muscle. It is not very expensive but it is very useful. You can find it on the internet and can order on-line.
It can be used other portion of the body, such as back. It is really good.
It is worth to try it!
