Lower Back-SMR

Technique

How to perform Lower Back-SMR

1. Sit with the foam roller behind your lower back and your feet on the floor.
2. Cross your arms in front of your chest and turn slightly to one side so the roller contacts the muscles beside your spine.
3. Lean back onto that area, supporting part of your weight through your feet rather than loading the spinal midline.
4. Use small, slow movements over the lower-back muscles on that side; do not roll across the spine.
5. Lower your hips to reduce pressure before repositioning and repeating on the other side.
