Foam roller exercises, also known as self myofascial release (SMR), are a great technique to massage and stretch your muscles. SMR increases your muscle's flexibility and motion allowing increased development and strength.
These are ideal exercises for injury rehabilitation. Foam roller stretching is effective both before and after your workout.
Here is a complete list of foam roller stretches demonstrating proper technique and form for foam roller stretches. This set of exercise videos encompasses all of the major muscle groups; calf, peroneals, hamstring, piriformis, adductors, IT band, quads, back, and lats.
