If you run, play sports, walk a lot, or are on your feet for extended periods of time, you don’t want to miss this this 20-minute self-massage that will relieve pain and soreness, and reduce tension and tightness in the hips, legs, and feet.
Maybe you’re struggling with runner’s knee, a hamstring pull, Achilles tendinitis, IT band syndrome, shin splints, or any other number of injuries that tend to plague runners.
Practice this massage after running or exercise, and on active recovery days to reduce muscle soreness, ease tension, and promote healing throughout the lower body.
In this video, we begin by stretching and relaxing our necks and shoulders, which often get very tight when running. Then we target our quadriceps, hamstrings, knees, calves, ankles and feet, using massage, myofascial release, and active release.
It’s best if you have bear legs when doing this self-massage. If you have a lot of hair on your legs, feel free to use a small amount of skin lotion or cream.
Follow along, and you’ll be back up and running in no time!

I ran five miles the other day, my legs feel like rocks. Now they feel much better. Thanks always for your videos. They work great when money is tight and I can’t get to the spa.

Thanks 👍🏻 14:04 I was about to apply this technique before my jogging routine when all of a sudden you said: "I wouldn't do this before a run." I got it just in time like magic 🙏🏻

this was helpful to relieve pain and the active movement seemed to increase intensity of the movements.

Do you think that this self-massage is better than foam rolling or using a roller stick? What is the difference?

@rachelrichardsmassage9660 11 ай бұрын

If it feels good and you get relief with a roller stick or foam roller, then go with it. In my experience, people tend to beat themselves up with these tools, which isn't helpful. With your hands, you have more control over the pressure and you're able to feel the contours of the tissue, and small areas that might be tight or tender.

This was great. I've been feeling "tired" on my runs and doing this realized just how sore my quads and calves are. I need to go hard/deep tissue but feels grand. BTW have you done a deep tissue self massage anywhere?

@rachelrichardsmassage9660 Жыл бұрын

Glad it's helpful! Deep tissue can be applied to any of my self-massages for larger muscle groups. You choose the pressure that's right for you.

Thanks, it was relaxing, but I have tight anterior and posterior tibia muscles. Do you have a separate video to cover these?
