People talk about releasing tension in the muscles, but I have tension that just will not go away, I've held some of these positions for 10 minutes with nothing happening (and with a lot of pain) how should I proceed?
I have a dislocated hip, causing very tight muscles in my hips, thighs and back. this has been a huge help! My question is, its VERY painful on my muscles on the affected side. Should I be holding on those areas even when its that painful?
@gagacorpse89 You need to consult a physical therapist. Its possible you have a muscle tear or strain, in that case you would not use the foam roller. Does that help?
Thank you so much for this video! My glutes, it band and hip flexors are so very tight and sore from running a lot and even though I've had (and used) a foam roller for over a year, I've never used it on my hip flexors or it band until seeing this video. Ahhh, relief!!! Thank you!
I have the same roller. It's the best thing I ever bought to stretch out at home. I like your demonstration, too. Simple positions that are easy to copy.
@nightguy99 Try using a less dense foam, like a grade 3, that should provide an adequate amount of cushion for the exercise. Also, make sure you are doing these exercises with a foam roller AFTER your warm-up. Very important. You don't static stretch a cold muscle, so don't roll one either!
can you explain why you hold the stretch for a minute? its advised not to hold the a static or pnf stretch for no longer than 15 seconds why is this differenT?
@ELH06 I agree that a minute is excessive, and very unnecessary. However static and PNF are very different stretching techniques and is like comparing apples to oranges. A static stretch should be done post cool down for 30 seconds. This has been well researched and is the accepted time to promote the most effective change in muscle resting length.
@ELH06 PNF is a 30 second static stretch, after which you contract against resistance for roughly 6 seconds (breathing throughout) and after the ~ 6 secs you relax and take the stretch to the next barrier.
@ELH06 because it's not a focused stretch (meaning your not stretching a singular muscle with maximal intensity and focus). The stretch he did, with the foam roller in line with his spine, it doesn't stretch a particular muscle, rather it stretches multiple together, meaning you can focus the stretch for longer without tearing or injuring yourself.

Can the lower back be rolled..?

@djianthomas The lower back can be rolled, but I would suggest a thinner foam roller and softer. This roller to too big for the lower back.

I use this roller on my IT band. After one session my legs is so soar.
Should I continue to do this everyday? Or should I wait until the leg becomes less soar?
