I'd like to know that too... I am an athlete. I know that stretching and conditioning muscles is good and can improve your performance. I am getting more comfortable every day that the normal degenerative changes noticed in my MRI aren't a structural problem with my body and that my pains are just muscle stiffness. Suddenly the pain feels more like muscle stiffness and not aching, shooting, deep bone pain (crazy!) but I still like foam rolling because it helps me get ready and warm for a good work out. I don't think I need it to fix my damaged body, but it does make me feel more able to do strenuous workouts like running stairs or lifting weights.

Any thoughts on the line between feeding into unhealthy fears and engaging in body enhancing work....
