Hip Flexor Foam Roll

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Place a foam roller on the ground and then lay on top, face down, with the roller being at the top of your hip. Use your hands and opposite foot as a guide to roll your body up and down focusing the roller on your hip flexor muscle group. Perform this for as long as prescribed. 
  • FEEL: You should feel a massage-like pressure on your hip flexor muscles. 
  • COMPENSATION: Don’t roll too fast or too slow, find the right speed to help release tightness in that region.
