Fitness: Workouts

 

Stand Tall
Pronation distortion syndrome - massage

Symptoms: knock-knees and overpronation (rolling in) of the feet. Occurs: when you have tight calves and tight inner thighs, with weak glutes, peroneals (the outside of the lower leg), hamstrings and middle quads.
Causes: the knees to buckle and the ankles to collapse during squats and can lead to ankle injuries, anterior knee pain, shin splints and lower back pain.

 
   
CALVES - While seated, place your right calf on a foam roller. Applying as much pressure as you can on the roller, slowly roll your calf up and down until you hit a sensitive spot. You'll know you've hit one when you feel actual pain, like somebody poking you. Relax into the area for 20 to 60 seconds or until 50 per cent to 75 per cent of the pain subsides. Do this for all sensitive spots - there will probably be two or three - then switch legs.
