"Roll"eur
There were some questions about the reasons for rolling, and I asked about this at my final PT session today. A big benefit is the massage like effect from the pressure, which stimulates blood flow, flushes toxins, etc. The PT said it was a great recovery technique, and showed me some rolls for the neck and shoulders to counteract long hours on the typical road bike position. I'll also do them for the IT Band, quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. The more I ride, the more I should do them. I think this is good.
