Medial-Calf Soft-Tissue Mobilization

How to do it

1. Sit with one ankle resting on the opposite thigh.
2. Use a soft ball or the fingers on the muscular tissue beside—not on—the inner shin bone.
3. Work slowly through the medial-calf region without claiming to isolate one deep muscle.
4. Use gentle pressure while moving the ankle through a comfortable range.

Form cues

• Work the soft muscular area just behind the inner edge of the shin, not on the bone.
• Avoid strong pressure behind the inner ankle or near the knee.
• Stop for numbness, tingling, electrical pain or bruising.
