Spending 5–10 minutes releasing tight muscles in the comfort of your own home can really help improve your range of motion, decrease your chance of injury, and make exercising more joyful. Plus it saves you having to go out and pay to get a massage.

If you feel discomfort, this means you’re applying too much pressure. You want to feel the trigger points but not so much that they are extremely painful.
