This technique is potentially the deepest SMR technique for the shins but intensity is more controllable than the shin wall roll or other shin techniques. Use this SMR exercise to more deeply address the anterior tibialis and especially the extensor hallucis longus & extensor digitorum longus muscles of the front side of your lower leg. If you have tightness/discomfort along the front of your shin or the front of your ankle during running or jumping activities (or following these activities), then this technique is for you! This SMR technique is especially helpful at addressing some of the muscles that contribute to shin splints and general calf/ankle pain. |
