Feels good after two hours of feet confined to skate boots and enduring lots of repetitive moves. I'm hoping the big foam roller will be useful for my lower back--I probably should just go to a good masseuse but then I'd be too broke to skate!

I've booked a session with her during my next week's session with chiro-guy in the hopes that she can optimize my pre and post skating massage routine. I also have purchased a 6 inch foam roller and will be very interested in what she can teach me about both items. The stick is convenient to bring to the rink. The big foam roller, not so much. I'm thinking use the stick at the rink and finish with a routine on the foam roller once I get home. We'll see what she says.

He thinks it's really helpful. I haven't really tried it (still hooked on the foam roller), but intend to, since it seems like a great idea. Report back on whether it helps with post-skating too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-27802065168119670422018-03-21T13:56:34.408-04:002018-03-21T13:56:34.408-04:00Oh, a glass is part of my apres-skate warm down!Oh, a glass is part of my apres-skate warm down!George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-31696724350424896732018-03-21T13:40:07.131-04:002018-03-21T13:40:07.131-04:00Wine isn't required for a lot of things...
