Foam Roller Series

Think of the foam roller as your own little massage therapist. This is a series of massaging motions where you roll your body across a foam roller. You want to slowly work up to putting most or all of your weight onto the roller. By massaging the tissues you promote better blood flow and faster recovery.

In this series you will use the foam roller in the following areas:

  1. Hamstring (Back of upper leg)

  2. Calf

  3. Hip (Side)

  4. Glute (Rear)

  5. Quadriceps (upper leg)

  6. Inner thigh

  7. Lower back

  8. Upper back (including sides of the lat)
