How to Foam Roll Calves
Starting Position
Sit on the floor with your legs extended and the foam roller under your calves. Support yourself with your hands by your hips.
Proper Form
1. Lift your hips slightly to shift weight to your calves.
2. Roll slowly from your ankle to below your knee.
3. To focus on one calf, cross the other leg over for extra pressure.
4. Pause and press on any tight spots.
5. Do 20-30 seconds per calf.
Breathing Technique
Breathe naturally as you roll, exhale to relax your muscles.
Precautions
Don't press directly on the joint or bone. Move slowly, not too fast. If you feel pain, reduce your weight to adjust the intensity.
