Roller Basics

Lying on the floor roll onto the roller. Be sure your spine is centered. Let yourself relax and the soft tissue will start to balance its self. After a few minutes you may start very slowly to follow the exercises. Think about centering yourself at a point just above your navel. Repeat each exercise with your eyes open then eyes closed until it feels smooth and symmetrical at least 10 to 20 reps. Remember to breath.

With your legs marching slowly, keep your trunk and head in good alignment. Perform the marching slowly so your feet are not dropping to the floor.

Rollers can be purchased here. I also use the pool noddles that are 6" dim. Last year I found them for 10.00 at the local pool store. I measure out 36-40 inches then cut. I use the small piece for the legs and truck of the body.
