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)
