This exercise is focused on improving ankle dorsiflexion mobility.
Foam Roller - Quadriceps
This helps breakdown any facial restrictions and improve quadricep flexibility.
- Starting Position:
- Prone
Set-Up: Begin exercise in prone position with quad placed directly on the foam roller with both hands/elbows supporting body weight.
Action: Next, roll the quad across the foam roller from high to low and outside to inside.
Never perform exercise to the point of pain, but make sure that your muscle is feeling just short of the pain threshold as this will help to establish the best mobility in the muscle tissue. Repeat in the same fashion on the opposite quad.
