Self-Myofascial Release: Tibialis Anterior

Hands-on SMR (self-myofascial release) techniques involve self-treating targeted areas of tone and tightness to create a cascade of localized blood flow and speed the healing process. The perfect time to do it is directly post training.

Thank you so much for your simple technique. I walk forty miles a week to work and home. It’s my only mode of transportation at the moment. Gradually I started to experience pain near my lateral left knee. The pain started when I started incorporating jumping jacks into my days off two weeks ago. The last two days I have been icing, resting and did an epson salt bath for an hour. I received no relief. If I cannot walk…I cannot go to work. The pain was the worst when going up and down the stairs.
I was a massage therapist for ten years. At first I couldn’t figure out which muscle group was causing me a problem. Then my gut said Tibialis Anterior. I tried a couple stretches on CZcams, but they didn’t work. I am so grateful that I located yours, because I immediately was able to walk upstairs and downstairs pain-free! Thank you so much for producing this video. I wish you the best!

what exactly were your fingers doing to the leg...were they pressing in a certain way?
