Glute Foam Rolling Protocol
A glute foam rolling protocol targets hip meat with slow figure-eight passes—sixty seconds per side, tailbone and sciatic notch avoided.
A glute foam rolling protocol crosses the roller under one hip at a time—slow figure-eight patterns on the meat of the glute, not the tailbone or sciatic notch. Lacrosse balls add precision for piriformis-adjacent tightness when tolerated.
Sixty seconds per side post-run or squat day is a practical dose.
Common questions
-
Why do glutes feel better after rolling but tighten again?
SMR is temporary—lasting change needs hip strength, gait, and load progression. If tightness returns within days, audit volume and add hip stability work.
