Lat Stretch - Dynamic, Foam Roller

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Begin in a kneeling position with your feet pointed down and a foam roller in front of you. Place your wrist on the roller with your thumbs facing up and slightly out. Let your arms roll forward and your chest drops toward the ground. You can spread your knees more to let your chest get lower. Hold that position as prescribed and repeat. 
  • FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your lat muscles. 
  • COMPENSATION: Keep your thumbs up in order to get a better stretch.
