Foam Roll Exercise for Stretching

The foam roll exercise is a great way to get your back moving better. It targets pain in your middle, thoracic, back but can also help with neck, shoulder, and low back pain!

How-To Steps:

  1. Start with your mid back on the roller and lift your hips up off the ground while keeping your hands behind your head – this will make sure the neck stays neutral.
  2. Roll up and down the mid back, however, never going onto the neck or the low back.

Pro Tip: If there is one area that feels extra stiff, you can rest your hips on the ground, and lean back to feel a good stretch.
