How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Sit with the foam roller beneath the back of one thigh and place your hands behind you for support.
- 02Lift your hips enough to load the hamstring, crossing the other leg over it only if you want more pressure.
- 03Roll slowly from just below the gluteal fold to just above the back of the knee without rolling across the joint.
- 04Use short passes and pause on tender areas while relaxing the leg and breathing steadily.
- 05Reduce the pressure if you feel sharp pain, then complete the area and repeat on the other leg.
