In this video, we will be using a foam roller to release the four main muscles that create tension in the hips and ultimately lead to lower back pain.
These muscles are the Piriformis, Hamstrings, Tensor Facia Latte, and the Upper Quads. Decompressing these muscles will not only lead to less pain but will drastically improve mobility in your hips.
You will want to spend roughly 1-2 minutes on each muscle group depending on pain tolerance. The more you foam roll your tolerance will improve resulting in a greater release.
Opening the hips will further benefit you with the major compound lifts such as Squats, Deadlifts, and Hip Thrusts. Save this video and give these methods a try. I promise your hips and lower back will thank you.
