i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Assume a stable half-kneeling stance, utilizing the foam roller against a wall or laterally to isolate thoracic spine rotation and extension.
  2. 2. Rolling Technique: At the end-range extension, gently contract the back muscles pressing into the roller for 5 seconds, then exhale, relax completely, and sink into deeper extension.
  3. 3. Breathing and Safety: Breathe deeply into your diaphragm. Never foam roll the lower back (lumbar) or neck (cervical); isolate all movement strictly to the rib cage.
