I actually did...One poster said he would never foam roll a client...why? If you have plantar facitus what do you do? Soft tissue work usually with a golf ball + rest. Well, you have facia throughout your body, why would you not release that facia before your warm up and train? There's a direct correlation between myofacial release, dynamic warm-up/Mobility and injury reduction beit bodybuilding, being an athlete, powerlifter or strongman.
Part of our pre-training warm up include flexibility as well as after. It make no sense to do a myofacial release after training. The first thing our clients do when they walk in is sign in and grab a foam roller. They spend 5-7min on a seven point release..
1. Lumbar, Thoracic, upper back (rhomboids)/Cervical no higher than C6.
2. IT bands
3. Glutes and glute ham tie-in
4. TFL
Then depending on the day (upper or lower) we have activation/mobility both seven point drills.
Plantar fasciitis is a very poor example though....
Ok, WHY IS MFR A POOR CHOICE AFTER TRAINING? Specifically.....why??? Because I can give examples of why it is a poor choice before. So why is post training bad?? I'm curious to learn here.
