-
A knot in your back or a tight tendinous band in your leg can be painful. Self-myofascial release, or SMFR, is a way to relieve that pain by giving yourself a deep-tissue massage.
Warning
Consult your doctor before you start a stretching or exercise program. Don't use these exercises if you have osteoporosis.
Step 1: Lie on the roller
Lie on the foam roller with your trouble area facing down. If you are working on your legs, you want to be face down with your knees on the roller. For your back, lie on your back with the roller under your hips.
Tip
Put as much weight as possible on the roller, but be aware that the pain will be strong at first.
Step 2: Roll down
Roll your body down the foam roller until you hit a sore spot or knot.
Tip
Rest on the sore spot for at least 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the pain should decrease by 70 percent.
Step 3: Resume rolling
Resume rolling until you find the next knot or sore spot
Step 4: Continue massage
Continue your self-massage until your pain is gone.
