How to Roll

TURN SORE MUSCLES INTO HAPPY MUSCLES BY HELPING RELIEVE MUSCLE KNOTS, ACHES, CRAMPING, SPASMS AND STIFFNESS.

1. Pre-activity: Warm up muscles and help prepare muscles for activity by rolling each muscle group 15-30 seconds.
2. During activity: Roll to help relieve cramps, aches, soreness and tightness.
3. Post-activity: Roll your body roll to help muscle recovery, as well as prevent aches, soreness and discomfort.

1

Apply about 10 pounds of pressure over muscles (+/- depending upon your needs) with your TIGER TAIL products of choice.

2

Relaxing your muscles during this process will help you massage the “belly” of the muscle.

3

You are the judge of how much pressure to apply. Strive for a “good hurt”- from 5-7 on a scale of 1-10. “Grimacing pain” can be described as that “hurts so good” feeling. It’s not unusual for people to laugh and/or get really serious when applying this type of pressure on a muscle knot. This is usually where we see the best success.

4

Always follow muscle paths. Massage each muscle group 10-20 seconds. With each pass, gently press deeper into the muscle. Avoid massaging directly over bones.

5

Tender muscle knots can reduce range of motion while causing aches, discomfort and muscle fatigue. Knots come in various sizes, like a pin head, pea, noodle or small pickle.

6

Minor discomfort or tenderness may be experienced when passing over muscle knots. To minimize knots, apply 10 seconds of firm, constant, focused strokes, for three sets.

7

Recurring or stubborn muscle knots often need additional attention. Using Tiger Tail products 2-3 times a day may help speed healing. Over the course of time, muscle knots should get smaller or disappear.
