SHIN ROLL

Foam rolling the tibialis can help alleviate muscle tension and soreness in the front of the shin. Here's how to foam roll the tibialis:

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and place a foam roller under your shins.

  2. Support your upper body weight with your hands placed behind you on the floor.

  3. Slowly roll the foam roller up and down your shin, targeting the narrow strips of muscle either side, from just above your ankle to just below your knee.

  4. If you find a particularly tender spot, pause and hold the roller on that area for a 10-20 seconds to apply more pressure.

  5. Continue rolling for 1-2 minutes, then switch to the other leg and repeat.

  6. Remember to breathe deeply and relax your muscles while rolling.
