Self-Massage to Help Your Lower Back
As most of you know I have been back in the States for just over a week. My body clock is back on PST, and I am starting my days in the early morning, 5-5:30 to be exact.
Since I have gotten back from my trip overseas I have had a little "tweak" in my hamstring. Nothing too big, like a pull or strain, but just a little tightness, and enough to be a little annoying.
So I took the liberty today to add some self-massage exercises to my morning lower back exercises.
These self-massage exercises are great because they pinpoint those little areas in the muscles that are cramped or feeling a little tight.
How do you do these SELF-MASSAGE techniques work?
You simply use what is called a foam roller, and you slowly roll over the muscles of your choice.
For example with my hamstring, I simply place the foam roll under my knee and I slowly roll over my hamstring up to my glute (i.e. butt muscle).
If I find an area that is a little tender, what I like to call a "HOT SPOT", I will keep the foam roll on this part of the muscle for a few seconds, and move on.
This technique does wonders for muscles that are tight or sore!
And best of all you can do this self-massage with the foam roll for almost any muscle in your body.
You can do it for your hamstrings, lower back, shoulder, you name it!
I am also happy to say I have included a series of these Self-Massage techniques in my new 14 Days to a Stronger More Flexible Lower Back.
In this DVD I give you a series of these self-massage techniques for your lower back and lower body.
These techniques are great and take a matter of minutes to complete and do wonders for your muscles.
So if you are suffering from a little "kink" in the lower back or hamstring check these self-massage techniques out,
they really do work, because if they didn't I would not being using them myself!
Make It Happen!
