My butt hurts from interval training and the only solution I know involves more pain.

@kensanata Delayed onset muscle soreness? Wikipedia says more exercise indeed helps!

@JordiGH Perhaps. It does feel like more stretching would have helped after running, though. The tools pictured all allow for self massage. But in trying to write this note I did some duckducking and Wikipedia says it is not supported by evidence! Wtf am I doing?

@JordiGH β€žAnother review concluded that the use of foam rollers or a roller massager before or after exercise for self-myofascial release appears to be helpful with regard to range of motion and soreness, but the evidence is poor.β€œ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofasci

@kensanata What isn't supported by evidence, myofascial release or exercising more to relieve delayed onset muscle soreness? (was going to abbreviate that but realised the initials look silly)

@JordiGH Myofascial release. Using these foam rollers.
