Abdominal Wall Foam Roll

Exercise Overview

ABS FOAM ROLLING This is a soft tissue mobilization technique for the abs muscle group. Lie down on a foam roller that is placed between your 12th rib (bottom rib) and your pelvis.

You may find 3-4 tender spots and repeat as required. Generally foam rolling is limited to 2-3 times per week to optimize recovery.
