What is rolling tissue?

Rolling tissue typically refers to a technique used in massage or physical therapy where pressure is applied to muscle tissue using a small, cylindrical object, such as a foam roller or a tennis ball. This technique is commonly used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and stiffness, and improve flexibility and range of motion. Rolling tissue is believed to work by breaking up adhesions or knots in the muscle tissue, increasing blood flow to the area, and promoting muscular relaxation. It is often used by athletes and active individuals as part of a warm-up or cool-down routine, or to address specific areas of soreness or tightness.
