How to Foam Roll Side Lying Single Leg Peroneal

Starting Position

While lying face down on the floor, slightly spread one leg to the side and place the foam roller under the outer lower part of your calf. Support your upper body with your elbows.

Proper Form

1. Slightly lift your hips and place your weight on your shins.

2. Slowly roll the foam roller from the side of your ankle to just below your knee.

3. If there are particularly tight areas, pause for a moment and apply pressure.

4. After massaging for 20-30 seconds, switch legs and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Breathe naturally while rolling, and exhale during the pressure while relaxing your muscles.

Precautions

Do not apply direct pressure on the bone area. Do not put too much weight and adjust the intensity. If the pain feels sharp, stop immediately.
