Coach's Tips

-

Start Position

1. Be careful not to roll over your collarbone or ribs.

2. Apply only gentle pressure to the foam roller initially and increase as necessary.

Proper Form

1. Use your feet to lift your body so the foam roller supports your upper back.

2. Gradually roll up and down the upper chest area, adjusting the pressure with your feet.

3. Glide the roller across the entire chest, pausing on particularly tight spots.

Breathing Technique

1. Maintain deep breathing to help release tension in the chest while rolling.

2. Exhale deeply when rolling over areas of heightened tension.

Precautions

1. Sit on the ground with legs straight out, positioning the foam roller under your shoulder blades.

2. Place your hands behind your head, keeping elbows wide and palms facing each other.
