In this video, Maryke demonstrates how to foam roll your calves. She also explains when not to foam roll them (like when you have a calf strain), and around which areas of the calf you should be careful. She discusses the benefits of foam rolling, when it's most useful, and also why sometimes you may find that foam rolling is not helping your tight calves and how to deal with that.
