FOAM ROLLER SPINE FLEXION

The foam roller spine flexion exercise is used to train segmental flexion in the spine. Start by sitting in front of a wall with a foam roller sandwiched between your neck and the wall. Slowly begin to flex your spine forwards one segment at a time to allow the foam roller to gradually slide down your back. Be sure to go at a pace that prevents the foam roller from suddenly dropping. Your set is complete once the foam roller has reached the pelvic region.
