Description: |
- Assume a prone lying plank position with foam roller under quads.
- Adjust position as needed to target proximal, distal, lateral, medial and central quads.
- Keep pressure on elbow(s) and feet/toes to control the degree of pressure.
- Increase intensity by removing support leg and/or crossing one leg over the other. Decrease intensity by addition of support leg and taking more pressure on elbows and feet.
- Roll a small area at a time and then move to another area. Do not over do any one area to the point of significant pain or discomfort. Less is more.
