Step 1
Lie face down with a foam roller under one leg. Place the foam roller at a perpendicular angle across your leg. Hold yourself up with your forearms.
Step 2
Lift the leg that is on the foam roller, and press back with your arms to roll your body back, moving the foam roller down your leg.
Step 3
Stop when you feel pain. This indicates a knot. Hold at this spot for 60 seconds.
Step 4
Roll down to the next tight or painful spot and hold there. Repeat at any spot you find as you roll down your leg.
Step 5
Roll all the way down to above the knee. Do not put pressure on the knee. Switch legs.
