Overview
How to Perform
- Lie face down with a roller under the front of one thigh.
- Support yourself on the forearms.
- Roll slowly from above the knee toward the hip.
- Pause briefly on tender spots and keep breathing.
- Spend about a minute per leg.
Coaching Cues
- Slow passes beat fast scrubbing.
- Tender is fine, wincing is too much.
- Rolling changes how the area feels, not its structure — pair it with real training.
