Category: mobility
Level: intermediate
Equipment: foam roller

Instructions

Start in a plank position with the foam roller perpendicular to your body.
Place one inner thigh on the foam roller, knee bent at 90 degrees.
Support your weight on your forearms and opposite leg.
Slowly roll from your inner knee toward your groin area.
Pause on tender spots for 20-30 seconds.
Return to starting position and repeat.

Tips

Keep your core engaged to maintain proper alignment throughout the movement.
Breathe deeply and relax into tender spots rather than tensing up.
Adjust pressure by shifting more weight onto your supporting leg.
Focus on the muscle belly, avoiding rolling directly over bones or joints.

Common mistakes

Rolling too quickly without allowing time for tissue release.
Placing excessive weight on the roller, causing muscle guarding.
Rolling too close to the pubic bone or knee joint.

Safety

Avoid if you have groin strain or pubic symphysis dysfunction. Stop if you experience sharp pain or numbness in the hip or thigh.
