Recovery: The Power of Soft Tissue Work

Soft tissue work isn’t just a "nice to have."
It’s critical maintenance for anyone pushing their body.

Heavy lifting, high-volume conditioning, and daily life stress all create microtrauma in your muscles and fascia.
Left untreated, this builds up tightness, compensations, and eventually... injuries.

✅ Smart Soft Tissue Strategy:

• Foam Roll (5–10 minutes): Focus on big areas like quads, glutes, lats, calves.

• Trigger Point Release: Use a lacrosse ball on stubborn spots (hips, traps, chest).

• Dynamic Stretching: Follow release work with movement (leg swings, arm circles, thoracic rotations) to reinforce better patterns.

✅ Pro Tips:

• Consistency beats marathon sessions: 10 minutes a day > 1 hour once a week.

• Before lifting: Light rolling + dynamic warmup.

• Off days: Deeper rolling, stretching, or mobility flows.

🚫 Common mistake: Treating soft tissue work like a punishment. It’s a gift to your future self.

Train hard, recover smarter.
