Though this exercise requires a foam exercise roller, it is easy to perform, which makes it ideal for people with extreme meralgia paresthetica pain. Lay prone with a foam roller providing support under the quadricep muscles of one leg. Support the body with the forearms and gently push the torso and lower body back and forth, moving the leg over the roller and letting the weight of the body provide pressure. This stretches the quadriceps, and the massaging itself can reduce pain.
