Cyclone Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Really good analysis of how they actually do anything here (although not what I expected) http://www.bettermovement.org/2013/how-does-foam-rolling-work/ I certainly wouldn't suggest using one whilst a cramp is occurring. I was thinking that use before bed might help to avoid a leg cramp in the night. They're more of a post exercise (or warmup) thing than actually an aid to exercising.

janie48 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Having just read the thread, I'm not sure who I should have the most sympathy for. The poster with the leg cramps, or the one with the hurt pride and bruised ego, as I imagine both conditions could be rather painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's not just that people are dismissive of things that are familiar. In several cases someone who has asked a question is looking for reinforcement of their own prejudice. When they get faced with facts that contradict them they resort to attacking the poster. Or use playground "humour" to denigrate a quite reasonable response. It's the way of the black and white thinkers: my way or none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to have a bit of playground humour now and again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I fully agree but not as a substitute for grown up debate. I don't mind having a serious debate every now and again, but not when people are veering wildly off the subject of my thread. I was wanting to know if anyone knew why Crampex tablets had been taken off the shelves ... a question which no one has attempted to answer as yet. Instead, we get drawn into paint rollers and variations thereof ... nothing to do with my original question. Is it any wonder then, and can you blame me, for equally going off subject and having a bit of a laugh, which, in case you hadn't noticed, I like to do on here? Is it right for me to be chastised when it wasn't me who changed the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapshot Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Alcoblog is a breath of fresh air on this forum, and usually makes me actually laugh out loud with his light hearted threads. Especially with his silly sketches. How anyone can become agitated by him just shows a lack of sense of humour. It seems Sheffield Forum is just a point scoring exercise for some people who take seriousness to another level, and would most likely be the most boring person at a party.

Waldo Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I agree. Mr Alcoblog is highly intelligent, artistic and comical genius. Yep, by rights he should be charging the forum owners a commission for each post he makes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't bother ever again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
