Tightness in the calf can restrict both ankle and knee mobility and efficiency of walking and running
Instructions
- Lie on your back and sit up with legs long
- Place the roller under your calf
- Place your weight on your arms and roll your calf up and down the roller
- You can change the intensity by increasing your weight on the roller
- If you find a sore spot you can hold and wait on that point until the tightness subsides
- Complete for 3- 5 mins on each calf
Precautions
- The roller can be significantly sore when using it to release the fascia and muscles.
- Exercise caution and use to the level of soreness you can tolerate
- Be mindful of not causing pain in the arms as you weight bear through them also
- If you are unsure, please speak to your physiotherapist
