SHOULD I FOAM ROLL MY LOWER BACK?
A foam roller is one of the best ways to massage tight muscles, decrease tension, and relieve pain in an area.

Unfortunately when it comes to lower back pain, the majority of people use the foam roller the WRONG way which can actually increase tension and pain in this area.

People will typically roll the foam roller up and down directly over their lower backs, which can be really hard to do and really hard on your lower back.

First of all this puts a ton of pressure directly on your lower back vertebrae and can be very uncomfortable (especially if you have stenosis or a spondylosis problem).

Second you have to hold this sustained crunch position in order to do it. If our goal is to decrease tension and increase mobility, why are we holding this sustained tension and rigid spine position?

HOW TO FOAM ROLL YOUR LOWER BACK THE RIGHT WAY

The most effective way to use a foam roller to decrease tightness and alleviate pain in your lower back is to use the foam roller on four key muscle groups that INFLUENCE your lower back.

Fo maximum benefit, you should start rolling your upper back, then move into your quadratus lumborum (coming at it from an oblique angle), and then finally move down into the muscles of your hips that control your pelvis. I will demonstrate the entire routine for you in this video!

Thank you. I have had trouble with all this for years. I hate that doctors throw a pill at you instead of trying to fix or alleviate the problem.

Best 6-minute stretch I have ever done. Night and day difference. Thanks.

[bryan_kutal]

This has changed my quality of life completely. Thank you so much.
Never felt so much relief, after constantly having lower back pain and tension 🙏🏾

[vivianho]

I'm dealing with lower back pain for the first time, and your video is extremely helpful. I'm glad I was able to find it!

[charlesmnadeau]

I have now been using the roller as suggested....your instructions are excellent and I feel the relief of de-stressing my back. Many thanks.

[SashaGarcia]

I have been doing lower back foam rolling by placing my lower back directly on the roller, but against the wall, with both feet planted. So far, no strain, and no accidents! Since you are standing up, you know have the power to adjust how much pressure you put on your lower back. Just do it slowly, and pay attention to your form. Been experiencing a pleasant relief of all those little parts you can't get by ''outskirting'' it.

[MargaretMenear]

This has really been helpful to me. Your instructions are clear and concise. Thank you!

[pbsjones]

Thank you! I spent a good deal of time sliding off my roller and having it slide out from under me. NOW, I know how to use it the right way. I'm sure I still look absurd, but I'll get the hang of it!

Thank you! I have tried a lot of things lately to help my lower back pain and this I think has helped the most. It’s not 100% better but I think I notice good results after a few days.

Thanks! I was one of the people that was foam rolling my lower back incorrectly. The side method is working much better for me - great advice.
