Jill, a 60-year-old personal training client, wants to improve her hip flexibility. Can a foam roller target hip flexibility? Suggest an exercise she could perform with this
equipment to meet that objective.
Yes! According to research, performing foam rolling for the lower back, buttocks, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and iliotibial bands really helps with hip flexibility. She can perform “It Band Release”, which essentially foam rolls the side of the leg between hip and knee. This rolls the iliotibial bands, which helps to extend, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip; releasing tightness here helps target hip flexibility.
