Anterior Hip and Upper-Thigh Foam Rolling

The posture scan does not measure thoracic kyphosis, lordosis, or flat-back posture directly. This exercise may still help mobility and strength that support overall alignment — it is wellness education, not a diagnosis.
How to do it
- Lie face down with a foam roller across the muscular upper thigh, a few centimetres below the front crease of one hip.
- Support your weight on your forearms and opposite leg, then roll a short distance over the front and slightly outer upper thigh.
- Pause briefly on a tolerably tender muscular area, then continue slowly before switching sides.
Form cues
- Stay below the groin crease and away from the front point of the hip, abdomen and prominent bones.
- Keep the ribs and pelvis controlled instead of arching the low back.
- Use mild-to-moderate pressure and stop for numbness, tingling, pulsing or sharp pain.
