Roller Massager+ Elongated Hamstring Release

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Stand facing a ledge or step, with heel (of leg with hamstring to be rolled) propped up in front of body. Stance leg is slightly bent and propped knee faces directly toward the ceiling.

Step Two

Grasp both ends of the Thera-Band Roller Massager+ so that ridged roller is positioned across the bottom of the thigh.

Step Three

Gently roll the Massager+ up and down along the path of the hamstring muscle, bending from the hips with chest lifted so as not to stress the low back. In general, longer strokes in this elongated position will work more superficial layers of the tissue.

Step Four

To further elongate muscles, prop foot on higher ledge and/or bend stance leg deeper.
