Roller Massager+ Shortened Calf Release

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Seated on a chair or stability ball with feet planted firmly on ground, grasp both ends of the Thera-Band Roller Massager+ so that ridged roller is positioned across calf muscle of one leg.

Step Two

Rise up on the ball of the foot of the leg with the calf to be rolled.

Step Three

Gently roll the Massager+ up and down along the path of the gastroc muscle, controlling the depth through controlling the amount of pressure placed on the tissue.

Step Four

In general, shorter strokes and sustained pressure in this shortened position will work deeper muscle tightness and knots.
