I just started using a foam roller. I was just rolling up and down it like a fool. I started having muscule spasms so I did a Google search on the best ways to use a foam roller and found your video. It helped tremendously! Thank you so much!!!

Wooo! You definitely need this then! Glad it helped ya out :)

[@miraluferg3349]

Oh my god. I've been dealing with such intense back pain since pregnancy and postpartum. My job required hiking in the wilderness with 60+ lbs everyday, as well as sleeping on the ground for as long as a week consecutively. Financially, I didn't have the option to quit when I became pregnant, so I was still doing this at six months pregnant. Now my baby is 10 months, and nothing has helped relieve the back pain. I've been to chiropractors, massage therapist and experts in holistic medicine, but with no relief. Thanks to this video, I have finally found enough pain relief to begin exercising again. Thank you for sharing!! Also, you are beautiful, and I appreciate your calm energy as well as your explanations of both cause and results. It has been so helpful.

[@youaligned]

SO AMAZING to hear, MiRaLu Ferg!! Thank you for sharing your experience and I can't express how grateful I am to hear this video has helped you. YAY!!! Wishing you all the best

[@JustCharlii]

Ngl I’ve had the worst back pain lately.. so I thought using a foam roller would be a good place to start. After searching about it I started to read so much about the dangers of foam rolling the lower back which made me a bit reluctant to trying it. Honestly after doing this routine once I felt so much relief. I will be continuing to follow this! Definitely recommend 🙌🏼☺️

[@airplanefreak27]

I feel so much better after following you. Thank you for the quality video!

I tried the hip flexor rolling the other day because I've been extremely tight and suffering from very intense lower back & hip flexor pain (I'm 23 and I've had this pain since I was 15!). I rolled so intensely that I was literally sweating and seeing stars (don't worry, my PT used to do the same thing). But the next day: POOF! No hip or back pain! It's amazing what rolling can do! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO!! I feel SO much better!

Cannot thank you enough! Overall, I have back pain issues, but today I was walking a lot around the mall and at some point I couldn't walk anymore from the back pain. I got into a fitness shop and got the foam roller immediatetly - I thought my back would break into pieces. I feel like a brand new human now!

Which roller did you use? Checking Amazon for one

@@Kamishal Here is the link for the one I got. I got the 36" one. The medium density is hard enough to smash the muscle but soft enough to where it isn't extremely painful. I have 3 different ones and this one is my favorite hands down. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TKUVAC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@douggoff5784]

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!

[@youaligned]

Yep!

Hi Elly -- it really depends! You can do each move as long as it feels good, but ultimately it will depend on your pain level and personal mobility. If it causes sensation, that's good! If it causes pain, that's not good!
