Is Foam Rolling worth prioritizing?

Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of foam rolling and self-myofascial release consistently find modest short-term improvements in range of motion and some recovery-related performance parameters, without the flexibility loss sometimes associated with static stretching before exercise. Weighing that against the numbers, Foam Rolling is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (42/100), and its estimated impact (21/100) is on the lower end too.
