Anterior Tibialis-SMR

Technique

How to perform Anterior Tibialis-SMR

1. Place the foam roller on the floor and kneel with the working leg tucked beneath you.
2. Position the soft tissue just outside the shin bone on the roller, with the knee bent.
3. Bring your bodyweight over that shin, using your hands and other leg to control how much pressure you apply.
4. Shift slowly to roll short sections between below the knee and above the ankle, keeping pressure on the muscle rather than directly on the shin bone.
5. Reduce the pressure before repositioning the roller.
6. Change legs and repeat the same setup.
