But more likely than not, it's connected to your fascia issue.
You can.
Conceptually, you just want to move it.
So if Voodoo Floss does it for you, awesome.
If you want to roll out on a lacrosse ball, cool.
If you want manual massage, great.
Cupping, infinite ways to do it.
But what you want to do, again, is not just compress.
The only thing traditional, like a foam roller or any other self-myofascial release...
generally people are smashing down.
What we want to think is actually pulling away.
So pulling the fascia away from your body rather than smashing it into the muscle and then rotating it, moving it horizontally, gliding up and down versus just smashing together.
So there's a whole host of companies that make this.
Normatec is the one that's been on the market for a long time.
They actually recently got acquired by Hyperice.
But these are boots...
You can sit, and they make them for the upper body too, but you can sit in them, and imagine a pair of pants, and the pair of pants inflates with air all the way around it.
And so it goes on and inflates, entire leg gets crushed, and then it deflates.
And then it gets crushed and deflates.
And so it squeezes back and forth and back and forth.
