Reconsider... Optimal Foam Rolling Techniques with Bill Hartman | Episode #40
Join Bill’s UHP Network Today  http://UHPnetwork.mn.co    In this episode, Bill and Chris discuss foam rolling techniques and the factors that influence its effectiveness. They emphasize the importance of using the right tool, direction, speed, and pressure to achieve the desired outcomes. They also highlight the significance of sequencing the foam rolling exercises based on the specific muscle and bony bends. The conversation provides valuable insights into optimizing foam rolling techniques for different purposes. The conversation discusses the sequencing and orientation of foam rolling for different body archetypes. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the directionality and turn of the spine in order to achieve the desired effects. The wide and narrow archetypes require different approaches to foam rolling, with the wide archetype needing a more vertical roll to create a wider turn on the helix. The conversation also touches on the need to adjust the angle of the foam roller based on the specific body segment being rolled.   Keywords #foamrolling, #physicaltherapy, #selfmassage, #athomeworkout, #strengthandconditioning techniques, tool, direction, speed, pressure, sequencing, muscle, bony bends, foam roll sequencing, orientation, body archetypes, directionality, turn of the spine   Takeaways Foam rolling techniques should consider the size and shape of the implement used, as well as the depth and focal nature of the pressure applied. The direction of foam rolling should align with the intended energy transfer, whether it is absorbing energy from the ground or delivering it to the ground. The speed of foam rolling affects the depth and magnitude of the effect, with slower rolls promoting greater shape change and transfer potential of energy. Sequencing foam rolling exercises should be based on the influence of muscles on bony bends, with different orders for wide and narrow archetypes. Consistency and coherence in foam rolling techniques lead to more successful outcomes. Foam rolling should be sequenced and oriented differently for wide and narrow body archetypes. The wide archetype requires a more vertical roll to create a wider turn on the helix. The angle of the foam roller should be adjusted based on the specific body segment being rolled. Understanding the directionality and turn of the spine is crucial for effective foam rolling.   Sound Bites "Speed matters, direction matters, pressure matters, object size matters." "The faster you roll, the more superficial the effect." "The VL will still have more eccentric orientation proximally, more concentric orientation distally." "Yes, acquisition is acquisition of the accumulation of the ability to capture the right foot. That's essentially what you're doing, right?” "Yeah, it's like manual therapies, manual therapies that don't respect the directionality. This is one of the reasons why you could be making a great decision in regards to concept, but the application of the method that leaves you hanging because like you had this perfect intention, like everything was right as far as your decision making, your intention, and then you use the technique."   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:23 Exploring Foam Rolling Techniques 06:53 Factors Influencing Foam Rolling Effectiveness 10:49 The Role of Size and Type of Implement 13:36 Understanding the Directionality of Foam Rolling 15:59 Sequencing Muscle Influence in Foam Rolling 20:47 Influence of Eccentric and Concentric Orientation 22:55 Understanding Foam Rolling 25:42 Sequencing for Different Archetypes 28:42 Considering Compressed Representation 30:37 Perpendicular Orientation with the Roller 32:55 Creating Turn on the Helix 35:08 Guessing Bill Hartman's Hogwarts House   LEARN MORE   JOIN the UHP Network to learn directly from Bill and join in on LIVE calls with Bill weekly https://uhpnetwork.mn.co/    FOLLOW Bill on IG to stay up to date on when his courses are coming out: IG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/   TRAIN WITH BILL   Interested in the only training program based on Bill Hartman’s Model?
