How to do it
Press the tops of your feet flat to keep the shins centered.
- 1
Kneel on the floor and place the foam roller under your shins.
- 2
Lean forward slightly to apply pressure to the tibialis anterior muscles (front of the shins).
- 3
Slowly roll from just below the knee to above the ankle.
- 4
Repeat for the desired duration, usually 30 seconds to 2 minutes per leg.
Expert tip
Apply pressure gradually to avoid discomfort and focus on breathing to help relax the muscles.
