  • Sit with knees bent up.
  • Place the roller behind you and place your hands behind your head for support.
  • Gently lower yourself back until the middle of your rib cage is resting on the roller.
  • Press through your feet and lift your pelvis off the ground.
  • Roll up and down and roll side to side on the roller by pressing through your feet and ensure your head is supported by your hands.
  • You can also leave your pelvis on the ground and arch back over the roller and curl forward to change how you are releasing the area.
