Common mistakes

- Pressing through painSupport more weight through your forearms and opposite leg until the pressure feels mild and tolerable.
Safety
Excessive pressure can bruise the inner thigh or irritate sensitive tissues, especially near the groin and inner knee.
- Keep the roller on the muscular thigh, away from the groin crease and knee joint.
- Stop if you feel sharp pain, tingling, or numbness.
- Avoid rolling directly over bruised, swollen, or recently injured areas.
If you have a recent groin strain or unexplained inner-thigh pain, ask a physiotherapist or doctor before rolling this area.
