Foam Roll Pigeon Stretch
Description
The foam roll pigeon stretch combines the classic pigeon pose stretch with foam rolling pressure to release tight glutes and deep hip rotators. The roller adds self-myofascial release to the stretch position. It is a powerful tool for relieving stubborn glute tightness in lifters and runners.
