 There are 11 muscles in the foot with 8 muscles on the bottom separated into 4 different layers. Start with light, slow movements. Address one foot at a time if necessary. Gradually increase the pressure, but try not to roll quickly through the muscles in the bottom of your foot if you are interested in addressing the deeper layers (you'll be wasting your time). Let your pain threshold guide you to back off when you apply too much pressure. The best time to do this SMR exercise is just after a hot bath or shower, when your muscles are all warmed up. You should do this movement at least once every 2 weeks. (more often is better) |
