Log Roll

Log roll is a coordinated symmetrical supine to prone and prone to supine rolling performed to the left and right. Unlike segmental rolling, the log roll should be performed in “one piece"

Set-up: Lie on your back with the hands overhead and the feet close together.

Action: Perform the supine to prone roll by raising the heels and arms slightly off the ground and rolling in one unit to the direction chosen.

Return: Pause briefly and return to the staring position by again raising the feet and arms slightly off the ground and rolling in one unit back to the starting position.

 During the flexion (Supine to Prone) rolls a relaxed exhale can be encouraged.
 During the extension (Prone to Supine) rolls an inhalation can be encouraged.
