How to perform it

Move the roller, ball or hands slowly over the target area. Pause briefly on tolerable tender spots, avoiding direct pressure over joints or prominent bone. Repeat the movement calmly, prioritizing control over range.

Tips

Aim for tolerable tension rather than pain. Keep breathing normally, avoid bouncing and increase range gradually; the exercise mainly targets the muscles involved in the movement.
