Foam Roller for Lower Extremity

For Conditioning/Practice: it is best to use BEFORE and AFTER to loosen up and help reduce muscle soreness. 

For Weight Lifting: it is best to use AFTER lifting to help realign damaged muscles and fascia to recover faster. 

Exercises should be done as 8-10 passes (up and back is one) 1-2 times daily. It is important to go through the entire length of the muscle, origin to insertion. Anatomical pictures are provided for guidance. 

If you find an area that is tender, stop and hold the spot for 30 seconds.
