Roller Massager+ Shortened Hamstring Release

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Long-sitting on the side of a table or bench, grasp both ends of the Thera-Band Roller Massager+ so that ridged roller is positioned across the bottom of the thigh of leg to be rolled, with knee fully bent. Non-rolled leg is dropped off the edge with foot planted.

Step Two

Gently roll the Massager+ up and down along the path of the hamstring muscle, controlling the depth through controlling the amount of pressure placed on the tissue.

Step Three

In general, shorter strokes and sustained pressure in this shortened position will work deeper muscle tightness and knots.
