What I'm Loving Now

The Stealth Align is one of the best foam rollers that you can buy. This “new design concept” of a foam roller initially transpired when Michael Palizzi (one of the founders of MuuvSport) was stretching his lower back on a roller and he realized that it just could not give him the stretching range and motional flexibility he was looking for.  After researching various products and seeing that a real need for a better roller, Michael teamed up with Ernest Peralta to develop a product that could take rollers to the next level.  As a result, MuuvSport™ was created based on the necessity to develop something more robust than the standard rollers on the market.  Out of this desire to improve a good idea and build a better product, a ground-breaking patent pending design called the Stealth Align™ was born.    


HOW DOES THE STEALTH ALIGN™ WORK?
The Stealth Align™ is designed to stimulate, stretch, and provide better blood flow to your muscles.  A term called Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) is a technique used ideally when using a foam roller to keep muscles from tightening up and exerting more force than your bones can tolerate.  Muscles can be full of scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions or knots also referred to as tight spots.  Think of knots in a muscle as knots in a rope.  If one were to pull on a rope with a knot in it, i.e., stretch a muscle that hasn't been relaxed, the knot will simply tighten.  In order to lengthen the rope, the knot or tight spot must first be taken out, meaning the muscle has to be inhibited and in a state of relaxation prior to lengthening.

WHEN SHOULD I USE THE STEALTH ALIGN™ ROLLER?
Ball release and Foam Roller Release can be done pre or post workout.  It should then be followed by gentle stretches.   Once you eliminate the knots and smooth out the muscles, you are preparing your body for a successful foam roll.  Depending on your degree of tightness, in the beginning it may create an unfamiliar tension and discomfort but you will feel better afterwards.  The important thing to remember is that you need to breathe when doing release work.  The breath facilitates the movement.
