How To Foam Roll

The Precision Wellbeing Group is a multi-disciplinary health & wellbeing clinic based in North Finchley, London, specialising in Injuries, Chronic Health Conditions and Weight Management.
In this video, our osteopath Ashley explains the basics of how to foam roll.
One muscle group that wasn't covered in this video was the hamstrings. Foam rolling the hamstrings is not very effective so instead of using a foam roller, use a massage ball instead. This will be covered in a future video.

Hi Ashley, I really enjoy your helpful videos. Can I use foam row to reduce neck muscles stiffness? Thank you

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Clement, thank you! You could use a roller but for myself I don't. I would prefer either a lacrosse/massage ball or massage gun. I find the rollers are too big to use on the neck well. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Ashley

[@GoodmanFactory]

Thank you 👊🏾

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

How can I strengthen my hands so I can be on my hands longer while rolling out legs?

[@teamgravity1801]

[@yangzju]

should I try tighten the musle when it;s pain? it feels more painful when I try to force relax, but not sure what's the best way

[@sarahluick9355]

Will this help for someone who has Arthritis in their knees and lower back?

[@MrMicahz28]

Hi what kind of roller is that?

[@MayankSingh0303]

Why can’t we foam roll our hamstrings?

[@rosemariesanfilippo2402]

Hi Ashley, love the video! Can you please tell me how long or reps l should do with each foam roll exercise. Thank you. Rose

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Go with what feels right for you as you are doing these. I like to do between 1 minute and 5 minutes per part that I'm working. If you're new to it though I would suggest starting with 1 minute maximum per part. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Ashley

[@peubie3457]

that roller looks painful!!

[@cinmac3]

Can this wake my lifeless flat glutes, Ashley

[@psithurismique]

It may awaken them, but if you need more help in activating your glutes, I recommend using a resistance band.
I'm not a doc/physio; I'm just a regular human being who attests to activating the butt with a resistance band. 😅
