The fascial connect and support the entire human body. This web of connective tissue can become overly tight due to illness, injury, arthritis and poor alignment. As a beginner, seeking the advice of a release practitioner is advised. However, here are some effective individual myofascial release techniques that can be practiced by most people in their own homes.
General GuidelinesAllow one to two minutes per position. When you reach a trigger point, focus on steady breathing and hold on it for thirty to forty seconds until the pain has decreased by roughly seventy-five percent. Try to keep abdominal and core muscles ridged to support the lower lumbar, pelvis and hips. Practice the exercises one to two times daily until results are achieved.
Abductor Release-Laying face down on the floor, place the foam roll under the groin region at an angle to avoid private parts. Allow your weight to rest on the roll and move your body so that the form rolls against the length of the abductor muscle.
Hamstring Release-Place the hamstrings on the roller, with body in a sitting position and hips unsupported and . Place your hands behind you, move yourself to roll the form over the length of the hamstring from knee toward the posterior hip. You can cross your legs to emphasize one ligament or the other.
Quadriceps Release-Lie face down with the roll under both quadriceps. Roll from the pelvic bone to the knee, placing emphasis on the lateral or outside thigh. To prevent lower back tension, be sure to maintain proper core control, with gluteus tight and abdominal in a drawn in position.
Achilles Tendon-Sit on the ground and place straightened calves on top of the roller. Plant your arms behind you, lift yourself off the ground, and use your arms to roll over the the roller focusing on the heel to midway up the lower leg. For more pressure, cross the legs or point the toes upward toward the shin.
Wrist Flexors-The wrist flexor muscles enter the palm of the hand and underside of the fingers locations on the ulna, radius and humerus. Sitting on a bench with the tennis ball in one hand, press it against the opposite forearm and roll it back and forth in small sections. For additional pressure, extend the hand to stretch the wrist flexors.
Gluteus Maximus-The gluteus maximus are the primary buttock muscles that run from the run from the ilium, sacrum and sacrotuberous ligament to the top of the femur and iliotibial (IT) band. Sit on the roller with feet on the floor in front of you and hands on the floor behind you. From rest, roll back and forth over the gluteals, shifting your to either hip for more pressure.
While using these myofascial release exercises, remember that improper placement of the roller can lead to excess fatigue of the nearby supporting musculature. As with any exercise, a doctor should be consulted if you have pre-existing health issues such as pregnancy, recent injury/surgery or illness. If you experience sharp pains while using the techniques, discontinue the exercise and consult a physician. - 31875
