How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Sit or lie on your side with the roller under the outer portion of one lower leg.
- 02Use your hands and opposite leg to support your weight and regulate the pressure on the peroneal muscles.
- 03Roll slowly from just below the outside of the knee toward the outer ankle without crossing either joint or pressing on the fibular head.
- 04Pause on tight spots and gently move the ankle through a small comfortable range if it helps the muscles relax.
- 05Keep the sensation tolerable, stop for tingling or sharp pain, and repeat on the other leg.
