so let's talk about our Viper foam roller so this is the Go version you also have the big 2.0 version that's still used interchangeably they both have that power button on one end of the foam roller that you can hold and press till it turns on and then you have your three different speeds again most of the time when we're working with clients we still just want to stick with the first speed there's no real reason to get into these higher speeds unless you're dealing with a client with really dense muscle structure so so with Allison here we're going to work through different parts of the body again so we're going to start with your face up we're going to dig through her calf again it's the same thing as what we did with the hypers sphere working those same areas finding that tight spot still using that same hand placement down here on the foot holding plantar flexion while gently rolling over those knots with the vibration to help that muscle slide better and then moving down into the Solus to help break it up going side to side it being a lot wider this Viper right here can get in the hamstring a lot better so you can either have your client stay supine like this or come up into that prone position and then we can work their hamstring the same way you want to make sure working that posterior chain that that client keeps that plantar Flex foot because as soon as they go into dorsy flexion right here they're going to engage engage those muscles in the back side of the leg and you're not going to be able to get the results that you need to so we're just rolling back and forth digging those knots out wherever that client has that more tender area in the hamstring next we're going to go into our client's quads so Allison is going to go ahead and roll prone for me she's going to take this foam roller we're going to go onto her leg here she's going to find where it feels the most tender in her leg then we're going to help our client by bending their knee up we're just going to work some internal and external rotation hand right here on top of the foam roller again we're not pushing down at all on the client we're just kind of here to kind of guide and roll that client really just find find that tender spot in their body I would most likely be on the same side of her body instead of being on the opposite so I can keep a good look at her face make sure I'm not causing her uh pain or discomfort so after we work that hamstring right here our lats can get really restricted now with the hypersphere it's a lot harder to get into the lats because it's such a smaller surface with the wider surface here Allison's going to go ahead and lay on her side she we're going to have her start up in her arm and then she's going to roll down towards her hip till she finds that tender spot you know when you find that tender spot okay she's going to get get nice and comfortable now all we're going to do with this vibrating roller here we're going to roll our client forward most likely we're going to find that knot and that speed bump yeah you can see her face just kind of light up with all types of good emotions as we just work going forward and back really just trying to break that knot up so we can work those lat stretches a whole lot better finally we want to get up into that upper back area so we're going to have our client lay supine again they're going to put that foam roller in between their shoulder blades to start off with we want to make sure that our client doesn't roll all the way down their body towards their hips because once you get past that thoracic spine you get in that lumbar area all the organs and everything are unsupported and you have a very small area of bone to help support that foam roller so that can cause a lot of damage to the body and a lot of discomfort to the spine itself we need to expose the back so Allison's going to give herself nice big hug she's going to bring her hips up and we're going to coach our client through this motion so she's going to roll up towards the top of her shoulder blades and then all the way down to her last rib might get some pops or something along the line here or just working those knots out now you can see your face kind of scrunched up a little bit more towards the top so we don't need to roll the entire thing so we're just going to stick in that upper area up and down about an inch or so and if it's again really tender guess what we just sit there for 30 seconds and we call it a day and that's how you use the nice little foam rollers
