Foam Roll Lower Back

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Stand with a foam roller between a wall and the muscular area beside your lower spine, never directly over the vertebrae.
2. 02Lean into the roller lightly with your feet supporting most of your weight.
3. 03Bend and straighten your knees to move the roller through a short vertical path over the outer lumbar muscles.
4. 04Keep your abdomen lightly braced and stop immediately for sharp, radiating, numb, or increasing pain.
5. 05Reduce pressure before stepping away and avoid floor rolling beneath the unsupported lumbar spine.
