This exercise relieves tight calves and boosts circulation. Great if you stand or walk a lot.
Flex your toes back as you roll your calves.
More
Sit on the floor with your legs extended, placing a foam roller under your calves. Use your hands to support your body by placing them on the floor beside your hips.
1. Slightly lift your buttocks and put your weight on your calves.
2. Slowly roll from the back of your ankle to below your knee while massaging.
3. If you want to focus on one calf, lift the opposite leg to apply more pressure.
4. If there are tense areas, pause and apply pressure at that point.
5. Perform for 20-30 seconds on each calf.
Breathe naturally while rolling, and exhale during the pressure to relax your muscles.
Do not apply direct pressure to the area above the knee joint or the bone. Do not roll too quickly; move slowly. If the pain is severe, reduce your weight to adjust the intensity.
