Foam rollers help to alleviate tension in the tissue that surrounds our muscles. Sitting for excessive periods of time, from driving in the car, or sitting at our desk can create stress on the body. It tighten our hamstrings and glutes, which can be painful. By using a foam roller you can release the tension by rolling out the tightness.
The reason why it's helpful to incorporate health and life coaching when personal training is when your client experiences tightness or soreness in a specific body area this can create emotional blocks, and weight loss barriers and you can even lose your client because they may have experienced some type of physical, emotional or environmental trauma that may impair socialization, and elimination.
Here is an example for you: A female who is seeking to eliminate belly fat gained from not having proper nutrition. Nutrition barrier being that she is limited to eating food from food banks and from the bread stores at the local Salvation Army.
Her IT bands, her glutes and her hamstrings are tight which are causing her to feel the impact of her incarceration. Being incarcerating for being unable to pay child support following identity fraud and theft.
When she used a foam roller to reduce the tightness in her glutes and hamstrings, these memories of being shackled and handcuffed across three Florida counties caused environmental stress, social stress and physiological stressors.
This female, named Elizabeth Nelson survived being hypnotized to not speak while being human and sex trafficked. You may not know what being shackled and arrested feels like, so here is a video to best describe the type of stress that Florida Females are experiencing following un prosecuted ID fraud and theft.

I have tight hamstrings but I don’t really feel much when I foam roll it unlike when I foam roll my calfs or other area. Hard for me to put enough pressure by myself

Hello 4 years later. 2 tips:
1. Cross your other leg on top of the leg you’re foam rolling to add pressure.
2. Get a foam roller that is thinner to add more specific pressure.
