Self-myofascial release may be a bit of a mouthful, so let’s just say self-massage instead, because that’s what it is!
It’s self-massage that aims to ease sore, tight and/or tired muscles and the surrounding tissues. Many self-massage techniques can be performed without equipment, but those that do involve aids, require tools that are inexpensive and readily available to buy.

3. Progress or regress moves as required.
