RumbleRoller Exercises | Self-Myofascial Release
Calf: Take a position identical to that of the hamstring exercise, except with your calves instead of your hamstrings on top of the foam roller.
Roll from just above your ankles to just below your knees. Cross your legs at the ankle to increase the exercise's intensity.
For even greater stimulation, place one calf on top of the roller, and rock your leg left and right to allow the RumbleRoller's bumps to dig deeper into the calf.

Lower Back: Caution: This exercise is not recommended for an individual with an injured or unstable lumbar spine.
Position yourself face-up, with your lower back on the foam roller, both knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Keep your abdominal muscles flexed to support your upper body and stabilize your spine. Look straight ahead and keep your head and neck in a neutral position. If necessary, place one or both elbows on the floor behind you for additional support.
Roll from just above your hips to just below your lower ribs. If you feel the roller against your spine, tilt your body slightly to the right or left to refocus the pressure on the muscles.
Upper Back: Take a position identical to that of the lower back exercise, except with your upper back on top of the foam roller. Keep your abdominal muscles flexed and your head and neck in a neutral position.
Roll slowly from the lower edge of your trapezius muscles (lower-thoracic area) to the top of the rhomboids (upper thoracic area). Do NOT roll onto your neck.
To increase the intensity of this exercise, cross your arms in front of you and/or rock to the right and left as you roll.
Latissimus: Lie on your side on the floor, with your arm outstretched and over the top of the foam roller. Position the roller in the axiliary area (armpit) pressed against the latissimus muscle.
Rock and roll slowly in all directions. The range of the rolling motion for this exercise is limited, but rocking from side to side will allow deep penetration of the muscle.

Neck: Caution: Never place large forces on your neck, and avoid this exercise completely if you have an injured or unstable cervical spine.
Lie face-up on the floor, with the back of your neck resting on top of the foam roller. Slowly rock your head from side to side, allowing the roller to press into the muscles on the sides of your neck. Never apply more force than the weight of your head, and try to avoid direct contact with your spine.
