Back foam roll

Back foam roll

Skill Tree

Technique

  1. Lie with your back on a foam roller placed across it, knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Slowly roll up and down to massage the muscles of your back.
  3. Also try adding some side-to-side movements to target different areas of your back.
  4. Relax into it and be mindful of how it feels; if you encounter an area that feels restricted or tense, spend more time on that area.

Risks

  1. Rolling directly on the spine (in the middle of the back) might create too much pressure on your vertebrae; avoid that area and focus on the sides of the spine.
