Foam Motion Fitness is dedicated to providing evolved fitness equipment and improved muscle therapy.  Our product, the Muscle Kneader, is specifically designed for functionality and efficiency.  The availability of multiple sizes, ranging from 8, 12 or 16 inches in length permits the product to glide into different market segments and crossover boundaries. 

            The Muscle Kneader unit is a combination of 3 devices and the number of uses is only limited by the users’ imagination.  The 1^st device is a non-porous, durable foam rubber which will not absorb liquids and can be cleaned with a simple disinfectant or wet towel.  The foam rubber will conform to the natural curves of your body reducing pain in pressure points. The most notable design improvement is the incorporation of handle grips to the foam roller. Consumers are no longer required to lie down on the ground when using the foam roller. By firmly grasping the handles, consumers now have the ability to control the amount of pressure placed on the muscle and maintain consistency while seated or standing. Additionally, the Muscle Kneader is “joint friendly” and can roll over complex joints such as the knee without discomfort. As a personal trainer, I can confirm the importance of applying only the necessary amount of consistent force in order to activate optimum muscle recovery.

The handle grips and center tube can also be removed and used as a 2^nd device. By running the tube back and forth upon the muscle, the user receives a more aggressive recovery. Please note that this level of recovery is gradually achieved. The 3^rd available device is found within the ends of the handle grips. The rounded ends are used for trigger point recovery and better allow for targeting small specific muscle groups. The Muscle Kneader provides all the benefits and uses of a traditional foam roller, but users also get the trigger point and stick applications.

Within the fibrous tissue that surrounds and separates the muscle we can apply gentle pressure to an adhesion or “knot” where elasticity allows the muscle fibers to transform from being bundled together, into following the natural direction of that particular muscle group. Self-Myofascial Release benefits include but are not limited to:

1. SMFR releases tension in your muscles due to overuse, tightness and aging.
2. The SMFR process restructures and realigns your skeletal system.
3. The SMFR process improves balance and body awareness.
4. SMFR can be used in the rehabilitation process and massage therapy.
5. SMFR can be used for Pilates exercises.
6. SMFR can be used to assist with reducing signs of cellulite.
7. SMFR allows muscle fibers to return to optimum training level.

            The Muscle Kneader functions as an exercise device as well. By incorporating stabilization requirements the user engages additional muscle groups and therefore increases efficiency.
