Roller Massager+ Elongated Hip Flexor Release

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Stand facing away from a ledge or step, with foot (of leg with hip flexor to be rolled) propped up behind body. Stance leg is slightly bent and knee of propped leg is bent approximately 90 degrees.

Step Two

Grasp both ends of the Thera-Band Roller Massager+ so that ridged roller is positioned straight across groin / hip flexor region of leg that is propped. Gently roll the Massager+ up and down along the path of the hip flexors.

Step Three

In general, longer strokes in this elongated position will work more superficial layers of the tissue. To further elongate muscles, prop foot on higher ledge. Conversely, lower foot height to decrease stretch placed on muscles.
