Targeted Muscle Release

Back and Torso

To target the upper and mid-back, lie on the floor with the foam roller positioned perpendicular to your spine, just below your shoulder blades. Support your head with your hands and slowly roll up and down, allowing the roller to massage your back muscles.
Legs (Quadriceps and Hamstrings)

For quadriceps, lie face down with the foam roller under your thighs. Support yourself on your forearms and slowly roll from your hips to just above your knees. For hamstrings, sit on the floor with the roller under your hamstrings, supporting yourself with your hands behind you. Roll from your glutes to just above your knees.
Maintenance
To clean the foam roller, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Roll slower and focus on breathing deeply.
Roller losing shape
- The high-density polypropylene is designed to maintain its shape. If significant deformation occurs, contact customer support.
