How to do it

  1. Lie face down and place the foam roll just below the hip bone, angled slightly toward the outside of the thigh.
  2. Support your upper body on your forearms or hands, legs extended straight behind you.
  3. Brace your core to keep the lower back from arching.
  4. Roll a few centimeters forward and back over the front and side of the hip.
  5. Pause on tender spots for 20 to 30 seconds, then switch sides.
