Myofascial release involves stretching the connective tissue layer that surrounds the muscles. This form of stretching is generally used to alleviate muscle aches and pain. You can think of myofascial release as sort of a self-massage. The good thing about this technique is that your own bodyweight is used to apply the desired amount of pressure on the specific muscle group.

The peroneus (outside of calf) can be targeted by resting the outer portion of the calf muscle on a foam roller. Use your arms to maintain balance and pressure on the peroneus muscle. Slowly roll back and forth the entire length of the outer portion of the calf.
