We all know how important a comprehensive warm up and cool down are to help avoid muscle injuries, however a large amount of people still tend to skip it out. After exercising muscles tend to feel tight and fatigued, which is often due to a build up of lactic acid within the body. This can lead to cramping, especially after strenuous exercise, and can contribute towards muscle injuries. Massage products can be used to help release muscle tension and accelerate your recovery process by breaking down the lactic acid within your body post-workout.

Here at Meglio we’ve come up with a list of our favourite massage techniques to help target muscle pain and relieve tension within the body. These exercises are perfect to do before or after a workout, to help increase flexibility and prevent injury.

Roll the ball up and down under the tendons, through the fascia, using a sweeping motion. This helps to mobilise the foot and decrease tension. This exercise aims to ease tightness in the tendons and the fascia.
