How to Restore the Curve in a Neck Foam Roller

A neck foam roller is a cylindrical tube made out of high-density foam. You can perform a variety of tension-releasing exercises with the foam roller on various parts of your body. The unit is primarily used to massage the neck, and developing the proper curve in the roller helps with the neck exercises. Since the roller is designed not to lose its shape, it may take a moment or two to get the curve back in the roller under your neck.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the foam roller on a flat floor.

    • 2

      Lay on the neck foam roller as if you were about to begin a workout. That is, with your neck supported in the middle of the foam roller.

    • 3

      Turn your head from side to side until you can feel the curve beginning to form in the area where your neck is resting.

    • 4

      Grip the foam roller at its ends and lift the ends up so the sides of the foam roller are around your neck.

    • 5

      Lift the sides up and down repeatedly until the curve is formed where your neck is resting.
