Instructions
1. Lie on your side on the floor with a foam roller placed under your lower leg, just above the ankle on the side of the leg.
2. Support your weight on your forearm and the opposite leg, which can be bent and placed in front of you for stability.
3. Using your forearm and the opposite leg, gently roll your body forward and back so the foam roller moves along the side of your lower leg, from just above the ankle up towards the knee.
4. Apply enough pressure to feel a deep massage sensation, but not so much that it causes excessive pain.
5. Stop on any particularly tender spots for a few seconds, relaxing into the roller to help release the tightness.
6. Repeat the rolling motion for a desired duration, usually around 1-2 minutes, before switching to the other leg.
Ensure you maintain controlled breathing throughout the exercise, and avoid rolling directly on the knee or ankle joints. If you experience sharp pain, discontinue and consult a professional.
