Performing self-myofascial release should be performed by using a foam roller and with your own body weight as the pressure to the corresponding adhesion. The pressure should be continuous on the sensitive area until the discomfort is reduced by at least 75%.The stretch should take a minimum of 18-22 seconds, or possibly longer due to the individuals ability to relax.
Once you feel the knot has broken, or has become relaxed, then proceed to another tender area and simply repeat the process. Make sure to foam roll all the major muscle groups of the body as it also helps to alleviate back pain, and migraines.
