Release Back Pain by Foam Rolling Your Quads

[@adelantegallery881]

Cynthia Wolf here! Love your channel, I have the intelli roll, it's great. All of your mobility, breath work and workouts have helped me out a lot! I'm a monthly member of the mobility method course, you did a great job laying out the course! Thank you for all that you do in the world!

This was so great and needed!! My quads were feeling that foam roller!! :)

[@docjenfit]

Especially if it is the Intelliroll! :) My FAVORITE ever!!

[@laurenhouseworth8923]

My knees, quads and back all bother me and it’s super helpful to have something to help them simultaneously! Thanks 💜

Aw glad to hear Lauren

I recently discovered my quads are tight from all the sitting at work. However, I do not like the standing quad stretch, which is the only one I've known all my life. Love the floor quad stretch or whatever it's called Lol. Another great video!!!! Wondering how many times a day can I do this?

[@docjenfit]

Thank you for watching! Once a day should be ok, you don't want to overwork yourself. Always listen to your body!

Great info, thank you! I have a torn meniscus. Will this help(foam rolling)? Also, I have tennis elbow😵. Do you have a video on that? Stay safe!

[@docjenfit]

It can help alleviate some initial symptoms of pain. Ultimately, it will not "fix" you. That will require movement and gaining strength progressively overtime! Also, I will be having more on tennis elbow. However, for both the elbow and the knee, it's crucial to look at the regions above and below. Often times, these will take on more pressure when the joints are stiff around the area (like the wrist/shoulder or ankle/hip). I have a whole self-assessment in The Mobility Method I highly recommend people moving through! www.docjenfit.com/mobility

My therapist said to bend the knee of the leg I am rolling to get better hamstring rolling.. Do you agree?

[@docjenfit]

For the quad? If you bend your knee while rolling the quad, you can definitely use the hamstring to help with more of an active release.

Hi Jen! I am following your videos and advises for maybe 2 years. I even payed for the "mobility method" witch I recommend you all to do it. Foam rolls can be really painful but they really seem to have better and fast results rather than regular stretching. Still you have teached me how to take care of a muscle pain I usually have when I run for more than 20 min (joints between hip and quads)! I am very thankful for that! I am struggling trying to get a more "athletic" body as I need to gain light mass on shoulders, chest, abs and back. Yeah I know it's a lot but I came from football (soccer) for many years and have lack of muscle is these areas. So I am trying to achieve it only by doing "functional" exercises and I wonder if I am getting there without any weight lifting in between.. What's your opinion about that? To end.. I have frequently spinal/neck pain (when turning my head around and down) in the mornings after doing exercise as well as some gluteo pain (very precise in the center!). I wonder if it's the sciatic nerve.. All of this in the morning after Thanks for the help and keep up with the great work!!! Congrats for your engagement too! From Angola.. take care you all :D :D

[@docjenfit]

Aw thank you for that wonderful feedback! So glad it could all be so helpful! I recommend continuing to check in with The Mobility Method since you have access to it for the spine section particularity for the neck and glute area. Making sure you have good control and active range within the spine will be very helpful. However, I also recommend learning and understanding how the core plays a role in this all as well. Especially when beginning lifting (which I do recommend as you want to gain mass). I teach proper core technique to relieve stress from the spine and extremities in The Optimal Body www.docjenfit.com/theoptimalbody/

[@amarareimer5832]

Nice! What about pain on the side of the knee or directly behind? Would that also be related to quad tightness?

[@docjenfit]

It could be. It depends! I can't say based on knowing symptoms, but if you find that your quads are tight, this can definitely help along the journey of continuing to discover your body!!
