The exercise will help release & gain control of the muscles in your calves & feet, relieve tightness & cramping in the calves & feet & plantar fasciitis like symptoms.
NOTES FOR THIS RELEASE:
⚠️ ONLY go to 80% of your max range of motion, with this- less range is better for most people start with super small range, ankles shouldnt lock out at the top
⚠️ you can try this 1-5 times, listening to your body to be able to know when its enough
⚠️ body moves with breath or alternatively if thats too hard, breathe normally- do not hold your breath!
⚠️ after you finish, take a few moments to really feel into your body the change you feel in your lower legs & feet, try to compare it to how it felt before doing the release- this also helps retrain your nervous system to hold your body in a new default position
⚠️ ALWAYS supplement release work with stability & strengthening work- so do this after a workout or do some stability work after you do this
HOW THIS WORKS:
💫 not only is this a release, but it teaches your nervous system how to regain control of your calves- so it works for short AND long term relief
💫 we contract the muscle, push blood flow into it which helps the muscle relax & then we let go slowly, releasing the muscle by retraining our nervous system
