Foam Rolling Glutes And Hip Rotators

In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute shows the **correct way to foam roll the glutes and external hip rotators**—most people miss the actual target completely.

🔥 Key Technique Points:

• ✅ Figure-4 position with the leg crossed over
• ✅ Shift weight onto the side you’re rolling (not just sitting on the roller)
• ✅ Move slowly and pause on tender spots
• ✅ Pull the grounded foot closer to your butt to increase pressure (to your tolerance)
• ✅ Tilt sideways to hit the external rotators near the side of the hip (avoid the bony greater trochanter)
