The Most Overlooked Area For People Suffering From Low Back Pain

This is probably the one most missed area when it comes to using the massage ball. If you're suffering from any sort of low back pain or low back stiffness, this is the one that's often missed - it's the front of the hip here, the hip flexor.

I often see people doing the glutes and the piriformis, even up into the lower back with the ball, which is great, but we're often missing the front here. So here's how I do it.

Place the ball when you're on your side, at the front of the hip, roll over onto the ball so you are more on your tummy than you are on your back. Then we come through those hip flexors into the top part of the quads here and you'll often feel that radiate down into the leg, give you that dead leg feeling. Get stuck into this, holding the spot for 10 15 seconds.

Move to the next one, roll around and it will really open up the hips, give you more mobility through the hips, and I reckon it will help that lower back pain and stiffness. Give it a go. Let me know what you think.
