FitnessTracker is a local-first, privacy-focused fitness application that helps you measure progress, track workouts, and stay consistent — all without subscriptions, logins, or tracking. This page covers how to perform the anterior tibialis-smr, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
This SMR (self-myofascial release) technique helps loosen tight tissue in the shins and calves. It is especially helpful for runners, lifters, and anyone prone to shin splints.
Instructions
- Sit on the floor with one leg extended and a foam roller or massage stick under the outside of your shin.
- Roll slowly from below your knee down to your ankle.
- Pause and apply gentle pressure on any tender areas for 10–30 seconds.
- Repeat on the opposite leg.
