It is similar to foam rolling, but uses steel cylinders that vary in weight (5lbs-250lbs). Body Tempering can be utilized by athletes for strength preparation by improving load tolerance to the muscle and surrounding tissues. It can also reduce tissue adhesion/restrictions, reduce myofascial trigger points, and improve blood flow. Currently used by athletes in the NFL, NCAA, MLB and NBA.
