Perform the Roll Ball Erector Spinae to target the muscles along your spine.

  1. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
  2. Place a stability ball under your lower back.
  3. Gently roll back on the ball, allowing it to massage your erector spinae.
  4. Control your movement and return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Roll Ball Erector Spinae

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Roll Ball Erector Spinae using your roller.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
