Foam Rolling Your Back: DON'T Do This! Do THIS Instead

At work one day I talked to ex-EMT co-worker telling him my leg was pretty numb and felt weird. He said loosen your belt but it didn't quite work. Then he pushed against the outside of my leg by my hip and said it's tight go buy a foam roller and explained what to do. Sure enough it was quite uncomfortable but not painful. Boy after doing it a lot in the tight areas it felt way better no numbness. He said that gets tight on him to. $14 to solve that problem. Now I used it on my back issues and they go away for a few hours. Best money I spent!

I’m pretty sure he was staring confused because bob had the pelvis moving in the wrong direction to demonstrate tight hip flexors.

[@keppela1]

@@davidsantacruz7077 Yyyyyyup.

[@hiawathasbrother]

@@davidsantacruz7077 No, he's moving it in the right direction, but he is not holding the spine at an angle to make what is happening clear. A tight hip flexor will cause a greater sway in the lower back, as his spine model demonstrates, but a person would be in a weird position if their spine was in the position he is holding it in.

Imagine my delight, when suddenly, while searching for foam roller stretches for beginners, I discovered my spirit animals, Bob and Brad. Not only was the video super helpful with the multiple angles and actual spine (how cool) but I just like the vibe. Down to earth, funny, considerate of my time and super helpful. Also you have helped spread the important message of NOT rolling your package. Lol Thanks guys!

[@ronrose2322]

I am learning so much from all of your videos. New viewer but wow you both are amazing. So much info on so many important subjects.

[@CarinRuff]

The most helpful thing I learned from my physical therapist to do with a foam roller is just to lie on it with the foam roller under the spine, from sacrum to head, and let the shoulder blades drape on either side and just relax and let gravity open everything up. It counteracts the all the stress caused from hunching forward. It was prescribed for me to supplement chin tucks when I was being treated for cervical radiculopathy, but I find it's also great any time I feel myself carrying tension in or between my shoulder blades.

What I've been doing is using a pool noodle as a low back lumbar support. Sometimes when I sleep my low back is so painful I have to sleep with the pool noodle on my low back in order to relieve the pain. Now I realize doing this was causing me even more back pain. I took you guys advice and put the pool noodle on my side, like you guys showed in the video. And I also have sciatica on my left side I put my under the knee pillow under my ankles and slept on my right side. My back feels so much better and the sciatica is not as painful. Thank you so much for all of your awesome advice.

[@dominiquecruz7503]

If you can afford it, get an adjustable base for your mattress Sleeping jn zero gravity is incredible. No pain at all. That's how the guy got me to buy my base rather than just a full mattress He put it at zero gravity and I was laying there and I couldn't even believe that I felt no pain at all in my back and then after laying there for a minute he made it go flat and I was like dude are you serious and he said can you believe you've been sleeping like this your entire life

[@williambenitez5908]

As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers kzbin.infoUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!

[@victoriarose4716]

[@johndjmcclure]

Bob and Brad are right - when I was 58, I cracked two lower ribs, close to the spine, using a back roller like the ones in this video. It caused some of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I couldn’t sit back in a chair or lie down for eight days. The only way I could sleep was to kneel beside my bed, cross my arms on the mattress and rest my head there for only about 30 minutes at a time.

I feel the hurt so good pain and feel the crunching and popping. When I'm done I feel like a new man and it last for days. I know you say not to do this, but man it works for me and I've tried all kinds of things to relive the pain.

First of all, love watching you guys. I couldn't use the foam roller with my sciatica at the beginning as I found it too hard and uncomfortable. One thing I tried at the beginning and it worked wonderfully is a Pool Noodle. I was able to just lean against it on the wall and push that way. Plus the advantage is the pool noodle won't scratch the wall. Imoprtant note, though, is to use the ones that don't have a hole going trough it.
