Fitness & Recovery Techniques: Foam Rolling

This practical, skills-based course equips fitness professionals, sports coaches, and individuals in physically demanding roles with the critical ability to use self-myofascial release (SMR) as a tool for improving workplace performance, accelerating recovery, and managing work-related musculoskeletal discomfort. Participants will master the anatomy, techniques, and programming of SMR to directly enhance physical readiness, reduce downtime due to soreness or stiffness, and create personalised maintenance routines. This course translates directly into improved service delivery for coaches and trainers, and increased resilience and productivity for active individuals.

Course duration: 8 hours

What you'll learn

• Articulate the key physiological benefits of self-myofascial release (SMR).                

• Identify and name the major muscle groups and key anatomical "hotspots" (e.g., TFL, piriformis, lats)

• Apply a minimum of four distinct foam rolling techniques (Scanning, Sustained Pressure, Cross-Friction, Active Release) to all major muscle groups of the lower and upper body.         

• Understand and demonstrate the clear differences between a pre-workout (activation-focused) rolling routine and a post-workout (recovery-focused) rolling routine.
