Glute Release
Daily Essentials • 2m 56s
Enjoy this myofascial release for your glute muscles. Myofascial release reorganizes the fascia and helps nerve signals from your brain tell things to loosen up. Myofascial release work should be done regularly as maintenance to help things not lock down. For a longer series, check out my Foam Roller release class in Level 1.
Props needed: Ball (The Orb ball is my favorite but you can also use a tennis ball/ lacrosse ball). If that is too intense or not available I also show how to do this with a foam roller towards the end of the video.
