HAMSTRING ROLL
Soft tissue release on the hamstring can help relieve muscle tension and soreness in the back of the thigh. Here are the steps to foam roll the hamstring:
Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and place a ball/foam roller under your thigh.
Lift your hips off the ground and support your body weight with your hands.
Slowly roll the ball/roller up and down your hamstring, from your glute to just above your knee.
If you find a particularly tender spot, pause and hold the roller on that area for a 10-20 seconds to apply more pressure.
Continue rolling for 1-2 minutes using the movement strategies in the video, then switch to the other leg and repeat.
Remember to breathe deeply and relax your muscles while rolling.
