However, most people use a foam roller the wrong way. Simply rolling on your low back can increase the curve of your back and lead to pain in the long term. That's why its important to address your myofascial trigger points with the correct technique. We go over this technique so you can get pain relief while avoiding any injury.

Here's a few tips to remember when using a foam roller:

Never lie face up on a foam roller. As you roll over your muscles, your back will become hyperextended. This can jam the spinal joints and can lead to more back pain later on. The key is to lie slightly to the side, so you're rolling over one side of the low back only.

For low back trigger points, its important to find a muscle knot and hold that position from 30 seconds to a minute. Most people roll back and forth and really don't take the time to get rid of their muscle knots. Find a spot, hold it there, and then move on to the next spot.
