Final answer:

For a client with advanced active flexibility, foam rolling is a self-myofascial release technique used to alleviate muscle tightness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dynamic stretching, while part of active flexibility, is not a self-myofascial release method. PNF and isometric stretching are other methods to improve flexibility and strength but are not self-myofascial techniques. For a client that has progressed to active flexibility, self-myofascial release examples include foam rolling and may be complemented by techniques such as dynamic stretching, PNF stretching, and isometric stretching. However, foam rolling is the primary self-myofascial technique that helps in releasing muscle tightness by applying pressure to specific points on the body. This aids in the recovery of muscles and assists in returning them to normal function. When a client progresses to active flexibility, they engage in flexibility exercises that involve active muscle engagement to stretch and increase the range of motion. Dynamic stretching is a form of active flexibility exercise that includes controlled movement through the full range of motion, but it isn't considered self-myofascial release. PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) and isometric stretching are techniques designed to further enhance flexibility and strength through a combination of stretching and contracting the muscles.
