A self-myofascial release drill for the tensor fasciae latae at the outer front of the hip. It is used for local tissue work around the lateral hip and upper thigh.
Lie on your side with the foam roller under the upper outer thigh, just below the front of the hip.
Support the upper body on the forearm and regulate pressure with the opposite foot.
Roll over a short range slowly, avoiding the bony point of the hip.
Use the arms and opposite leg to reduce pressure rather than forcing the roller into a painful spot.
Keep the range short and stay on the soft tissue of the upper outer thigh.
Rolling directly over the greater trochanter or other bony parts of the hip.
Using long, fast passes that make it hard to control pressure.
