When somebody in the health/fitness field tells you so you buy their services/products.
Fairly common to make up a condition that doesn't exist so they can market sell a product such as a muscle adhesions-foam roller, leaky gut-diet plan, or in the old days snake oil-you name it The only thing that can come positive from it is placebo effect.
dude, foam rollers are awesome. a runner and her foam roller shall not be parted.
Or just run without foam rolling knowing you'll be just fine.7 -

I'm a GI PA (12 years) and I can say I've never used this diagnosis. And there is no ICD 10 code for it either.17 -
I've asked my internist, my dermatologist, my oncologist, my surgeon, my gynecologist, my dentist, a functional medicine practioner and my psychiatrist....none of them believe in leaky gut. Sick of the steroids and other meds. Looking to heal with a (mostly) plant based diet. :-)
I'm sorry but if this many people who have spent 8+ years of their lives each to be trained in the medical field are telling you that you don't have leaky gut, I'm not sure why you would question it. I understand that you have issues that you are dealing with and you are trying to find the answers. It sounds like trained people are trying to help you. A diagonisis of leaky gut is often only made my holistic practitioners and at that, they are trying to sell you on supplements or other items that will not heal your symptoms. By telling you it takes a year or more to correct, you have to buy their supplements for a year before they say "well, that didn't work let's try this". I hope you find relief for your symptoms but I also hope you listen to your doctors and find out what is truly wrong. Good luck to you.10 -

What do you actually think it does? Other than a placebo effect?5 -

Or search "Mark Tarnopolsky massage study" if you don't like what I've linked.
Foam rolling is one way a person can massage themselves. Tennis or lacrosse balls are also an option as mentioned.
You are rude and probably need to associate with doctors that are both more well-read and more open-minded.2 -
Oh and “knots” in your muscles are properly called adhesions.2

Then they should be able to give you that citation if asked, yes?3 -

I'm not seeing anything stating that foam rolling improves running performance or that knots in muscles exist.
Please, the doctors are very well read but wouldn't take the time to argue with somebody who isn't evidence based and just believe, and neither do I.

Must be why physiotherapists recommend them regularly to help with tightened muscles but I guess you know more than someone with expertise in the field.......
Placebo effect. Definitely not!7 -

Syllogism. Let me break it down for you: massage does things as per the study; foam rolling is self massage; foam rolling does things as per the study.
I have a foam roller that I bought something like a decade ago for around $20, maybe $30 IIRC. If this is a money-making racket, my chiropractor, massage therapist and physiotherapist all missed that memo.

But my holistic nutritionist who took a comprehensive 3 month on-line course diagnosed it, maybe I need to align my chakras......

Here is where we differ, you both believe these are actual doctors and practice medicine. Any doctor that went to medical school will tell you 99% of these individuals are quacks because they don't base their practice on evidence, nor hold significant weight in science . If you want to believe they are the gods of the medical community great...I'm not trying to change your mind because it is obviously neither of you are open to change. If you can present one citation that muscle adhesions exist or foam rolling improves your performance to running with a high evidence study, I would be open to that thought.born_of_fire74 wrote: »If this is a money-making racket, my chiropractor, massage therapist and physiotherapist all missed that memo.
I quote you Dr. Baraki, MD.This is just one issue we have with "fascia" and "adhesion" gurus who claim they can actually do anything about these issues (...despite the fact that the problems they diagnose haven't even been shown to exist at all, much less correlate with pain).
Adhesions are medically defined as Abdominal Adhesions that result from either post surgery or post trama. The scar tissue involves organs in the abdominal region. They don't just appear in random muscles around the body.
For those interested, here is a link to foam rollers or roller massager used study.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4637917/Currently, there are no systematic reviews that have specifically appraised the literature and reported the effects of SMR using a foam roll or roller massager on these parameters. This creates a gap in the translation from research to practice for clinicians and fitness professionals who use these tool and recommend these products to their clients.Mauntel et al13 conducted a systematic review assessing the effectiveness of the various myofascial therapies... The authors appraised 10 studies and found that myofascial therapies, as a group, significantly improved ROM but produced no significant changes in muscle function following treatment.13
Everybody have a good day regardless what you believe.

Please do point out where the poster you are talking down to claimed that foam rolling improved her running performance. You told her it does nothing and she disagreed, specifically stating that her recovery time is better when she rolls.
Please do point out where I claimed that a chiropractor, massage therapist or physiotherapist were doctors or gods of the medical community. My only mention of them was that, if they are selling foam rolling as a racket to make money, they are doing a terrible job of it at max $3/year in my case. The study I linked was authored by Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky. He is not a chiropractor, massage therapist or physiotherapist, he is a medical doctor https://fhs.mcmaster.ca/pediatrics/mark_tarnopolsky.html
Strawmen abound.

I think there's a disconnect in this conversation if I might intervene here.
I think you are talking about the scammers who try to convince people they can do that stupid fascia foam rolling and break up all sorts of things and get rid of cellulite and change your body shape and all sort of ridiculous claims. I've seen the pictures with the bruising from this stupid form of charlatan-induced foam rolling. I agree with you that it's ridiculous.
Everyone else is talking about easing aches and pains, basically, as someone said earlier, self-massage to ease aching muscles. Not to do anything else. A different sort of roller is used for this and no one gets bruised, either or expects anything but feeling a little better.
