http://www.HockeyTrainingPro.com We have been using the foam roll and lacrosse ball for years to do some nice tissue quality work. We typically roll over the tissue trying to move the fascia on the muscle to disrupt adhesions or break down some of the 'gunky' tissue. That is what we THINK we are doing anyway -- some argue otherwise. Whatever the mechanism, it makes the athletes I train feel better and I think they move better, so we do it. In this new technique we are going to use the lacrosse ball -- you could also use the foam roll, to 'tack' down the fascia and move the muscle underneath it. So essentially the same outcome, just coming at it from a different direction. We typically do 10-15 movements per 'trigger point' and find 2-3 trigger points or sensitive spots per muscle before moving on. This is a technique you can do daily, even multiple times per day. Go easy at first, don't give yourself bruises and remember to stay off of bony prominences (places where your bone lies under the muscle -- like your hip bone for example). It is not fun when you start, but it gets better and is a nice way to add some movement to the self-myofascial release which should be a part of any off-ice hockey workout.
