What is Voodoo Floss and Should I Use It?

What is voodoo floss doing?

It enhances mobility! However, the medical industry is not sure how or why voodoo floss works. Every form of mobility tool is creating a short-term perception in increased mobility through manipulating the nervous system.

There are some suggestions as to what the purpose of the floss is, and they are shearing and gliding of the layers of the skin and muscle fascia, relating with the nervous system to bring awareness to a particular part of the body and enhance joint mobility.

Voodoo floss is a very useful tool in your warm up and recovery routines.

Is floss wrap the same as BFR (blood flow restriction training)?

No, it is not the same. The latex band in voodoo floss is not occluding the arteries or veins that are close to the desired stimulus for hypertrophy [2] and it is harmful to occlude vessels.

Forming a tight, narrow tourniquet can destroy nerves and blood vessels in that area. It is important to stick to an approved blood flow restriction training and know the correct way to do it. This is the only way you can have safety and muscle gains.
