Foam Rolling to FIX YOUR BACK

Foam Rolling is the Superstar to the Allstar Team

Foam rolling is CRUCIAL FOR A HOCKEY PLAYER
WHY?! You ask?

Well first off aches and pain are terrible. You can’t sit without hurting and walking ? Well, you just look like you’re limping.  This is easy, quick.  Almost addicting. Better than a massage if you ask me.

Let’s get into it. Here are 4 ESSENTIAL Movements you’ll need to do, to feel light as a feather.

Quads/HipFlexor

Start by facing downward in push-up position and place the foam roller on one side of your quads first;

• Roll up and down
• 5-10 Passes
• Lift up other leg for added pressure

 

Outer Thighs

Place foam roller on the side as you lie down on top with your hip. Use core muscles and elbow to stabilize your position.

• Roll up and down
• 5-10 Passes
• Embrace the pain

 

Butt

Sit on your foam roller, well if you can.
Two hands back as if you’re tanning at the beach. Place the foam roller just above your butt and below your back bone. Just below where you would put your belt!

• Roll up and down
• Roll left and right
• Scream if you need

 

Calves/Shins

This one might be most painful as there are thinner muscles on the shins. Simply the same as if you were rolling the quads but, where your shins and calves are.

• Roll up and down
• Roll left and right

The thing with foam rolling is that there are no set rules. Everyone can incorporate how they balance and roll. You’ll be use to this and be addicted to it in no time. If this has helped you IN ANYWAY, please, share this to someone who you think could benefit from this! 

Thanks!
