INTRO

Voodoo flossing is said to decrease pain, speed up healing, increase mobility, and even improve your performance. Let’s see if there’s any proof of that. By the end of this video, you’ll be able to answer the following questions:

How does flossing work?

Does flossing improve our rehab?

Does flossing improve our performance?

Are there any safety concerns?

Is it worthwhile for climbers?

MECHANISM

Let’s start by looking at the mechanism -- or how it works.


To get the benefits of flossing, you’re supposed to wrap an extremity with an elastic band for a couple minutes while performing exercises or stretches targeting that area.


The overarching mechanism here is obvious: compression.

Compression can cause interesting things to happen in the body.
