Roll Peroneal Side Lying on Floor
Lying on the side propped on the hands, the outer lower leg rests on a foam roller and rolls from above the ankle to below the knee; the outside of the shin loosens.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on one side, propped on the hands, legs long and stacked, a foam roller under the outside of the bottom shin.
Steps
- Lift the hips a little and shift the body to roll the outer shin over the roller.
- Travel from just above the ankle to just below the knee.
- Pause on a tender spot and breathe until it eases, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Rolling onto the ankle bone or the side of the knee: stay on the muscle between them. Letting the full weight drop on at once: take part of it on the hands. Rolling on the front edge of the shin bone: turn the leg so its outer side meets the roller.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
