How to Foam Roll Hamstrings and Glute

Starting Position

Sit on the floor with one leg extended straight and place a foam roller under the back of the other leg. Keep the other leg bent at the knee for support.

Proper Form

1. Slightly lift your hips and shift your weight, then slowly roll the foam roller from behind your knees to below your hips.

2. Move the foam roller up to your hips and apply pressure by moving it side to side.

3. Pause and maintain pressure on any tight areas.

Breathing Technique

Breathe naturally while rolling, and exhale when the pressure is strong to relax your muscles.

Precautions

Do not bend or tense your waist, keep it relaxed. Do not roll too quickly and move slowly. Be careful not to apply direct pressure on the bone areas.
