Roller Massager+ Shortened Lower Calf Release

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Long-sitting on the side of a table or bench, grasp both ends of the Thera-Band Roller Massager+ so that ridged roller is positioned across the lower calf of the leg to be rolled.

Step Two

Rise up on the ball of the foot of the leg with the lower calf to be rolled. Non-rolled leg is dropped off the edge with foot planted.

Step Three

Gently roll the Massager+ up and down along the path of the soleus muscle and Achilles tendon, controlling the depth through controlling the amount of pressure placed on the tissue. In general, shorter strokes and sustained pressure in this shortened position will work deeper muscle tightness and knots.
