Benefits?

Let's begin
Using a ball or double ball, place the ball on floor or yoga block under the calf. Ball should start in the upper calf
Slowly bring your toes up and down 10 times
Keeping foot slightly toes flexed up, roll the leg side to side 10 times
Move the ball to another tight location below, slightly right or slightly left, and REPEAT
Stop above the Achilles!
