How to do it
- Lie on your side with a foam roller under your lat muscle, just below the armpit.
- Extend your arm overhead, and place your opposite hand on the floor for support.
- Roll slowly up and down the side of your torso, focusing on tender areas.
- Pause and hold pressure on tight spots for a few seconds, then continue rolling.
- Switch sides and repeat to balance both lat muscles.
