Making sure you do mobility work and foam rolling on a regular basis is an excellent first step to maintaining proper range of motion and flexibility. But on your own, you will never be able to reach the optimal amount of relaxation to target specific muscles, as Fascial Stretch Therapy can.

The purpose of a warm-up is not only to increase your body temperature but to also increase your heart rate and blood flow to your muscles, to prepare those muscles for the work they are about to do and to address your mobility.
