A self-myofascial release technique that uses foam rolling or massage tools to target the latissimus dorsi and posterior deltoid muscles to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension.
Lie on your side with a foam roller positioned under your lat and posterior deltoid areas. Roll slowly over the muscles, pausing on tight spots to release tension.
Begin lying on your side with a foam roller positioned under your lat and posterior deltoid areas.
Return to resting position after completing the SMR lats and posterior delt sequence.
Roll slowly, pause on tight spots, breathe deeply, control pressure
Rolling too fast, not pausing on tight spots, applying too much pressure, poor positioning
Increase pressure, add variations, or perform longer sessions.
Reduce pressure, use softer roller, or perform shorter sessions.
Apply moderate pressure to avoid injury. Stop if you experience pain or discomfort. Avoid rolling over bones or joints directly.
