Foam roll Lower Back

The Lower Back-SMR is a stretching movement that targets your lower back. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Lower Back-SMR

  1. Place the foam roller horizontally under your lower back, just above the hips.
  2. Support your weight through your forearms and slowly roll between your hips and the bottom of your rib cage.
  3. Pause on any tender spots for 20–30 seconds before continuing.
  4. Keep your glutes relaxed to allow deeper tissue release.
