LOWER LEG RELEASE
To perform lower leg release:
Benefits of the lower leg release: The lower leg is essential for upright movement, walking, and especially running. These muscles help to propel the body forward, stabilize the ankle and knee, and are intimately connected to the hips during normal movement patterns. The connective tissue in the back of the lower leg will become shortened and “stick” together overtime to prevent normal movement and cause discomfort while walking. The lower leg release gently applies pressure to release trigger points and allow for proper movement.
In addition to relaxation, foam rollers can also be used for flexibility, mobility training and pre or post workout stretching. Remember to start slowly and work your way into each exercise gently. Good Luck and Happy Rolling!
