Is using a foam roller on the lower back safe? What are the dangers associated with foam rolling?

People ask me all the time if foam rolling the lower back is safe. The answer to this question is yes for some people, and no for other people. Your ability to foam roll the lower back safely comes down to a few simple and easy to determine factors that I will show you in the video below.

In addition to shedding light on the lower back thing, I also address some of the REAL, big time dangers/drawbacks of foam rolling the wrong way.

Don’t hurt yourself. Foam rolling should be a nice recovery based practice, not something that causes damage!
