Neurovascular Release for the Lower Leg

Differentiate and fine-tune the fascial layers in the lower leg, improving function of the tibialis posterior and the extrinsic toe flexors, and improving core support and adaptive control of the arches and articulations of the ankle and foot. A key goal with this lower leg work is to liberate the nerves and vessels associated with the fascial layers, helping change functionality of the deepest leg muscles. We will discuss and explore how this work can provide the following:

• Better balance on one leg
• Greater resilience and shock absorption through the knee and ankle *Release for hallux rigidus (stiff big toe)A reduction in plantar fasciitis pain
• Lift through the arches of the feet
• Prevention of muscle strain in the calf
• Balance in the relationship between anterior and posterior compartments of the lower legs
• Prevention of anterior compartment syndrome
• Easier transition to minimal shoes
• Reduced ankle stiffness
• A spring in your step

Bring a massage table, a bottom sheet, and two small pillows or a regular sized bed pillow.
