How to perform Hamstring-SMR

1. Sit with a foam roller beneath the back of your thighs and your legs extended.
2. Place your hands beside or behind your hips to support your weight.
3. Press through your hands to lift your hips slightly and shift pressure toward one thigh.
4. Move your body slowly so the roller travels along the back of that thigh, staying above the knee and below the buttock.
5. Pause briefly where you want to apply pressure while keeping the leg relaxed.
6. Lower your hips to reset and repeat on the other thigh.
