- If you run, play sports, walk a lot, or are on your feet for extended periods of time, you don’t want to miss this this 20-minute self-massage that will relieve pain and soreness, and reduce tension and tightness in the hips, legs, and feet.
Maybe you’re struggling with runner’s knee, a hamstring pull, Achilles tendinitis, IT band syndrome, shin splints, or any other number of injuries that tend to plague runners.
Practice this massage after running or exercise, and on active recovery days to reduce muscle soreness, ease tension, and promote healing throughout the lower body.
In this video, we begin by stretching and relaxing our necks and shoulders, which often get very tight when running. Then we target our quadriceps, hamstrings, knees, calves, ankles and feet, using massage, myofascial release, and active release.
It’s best if you have bear legs when doing this self-massage. If you have a lot of hair on your legs, feel free to use a small amount of skin lotion or cream.
Follow along, and you’ll be back up and running in no time!

I ran my first half marathon this morning and this was a huge relief afterwards. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wonderful. And congratulations!
Excellent, Rachel, thank you. Works for walkers too
Great! Glad you like it 😊
I ran five miles the other day, my legs feel like rocks. Now they feel much better. Thanks always for your videos. They work great when money is tight and I can’t get to the spa.
So glad it helped! And delighted that my videos are useful for you 😊
This really helped! Thanks a lot for the tips.
Glad it helped, Amit!
Thanks 👍🏻
14:04 I was about to apply this technique before my jogging routine when all of a sudden you said: "I wouldn't do this before a run." I got it just in time like magic 🙏🏻
Ha! Guess I should have mentioned that BEFORE demonstrating :)
Hi there 😊. Just wa to say I enjoy your videos once again. Have a great day!
Hi! What a nice message to get! Thank you so much for watching :)

Thank you so much for sharing!!! What you are doing is absolutely amazing and so helpful!
Thank YOU so much for that lovely and motivating message, Julia!
This was great. I've been feeling "tired" on my runs and doing this realized just how sore my quads and calves are. I need to go hard/deep tissue but feels grand. BTW have you done a deep tissue self massage anywhere?
Glad it's helpful! Deep tissue can be applied to any of my self-massages for larger muscle groups. You choose the pressure that's right for you.
Thanks, it was relaxing, but I have tight anterior and posterior tibia muscles. Do you have a separate video to cover these?
Glad you like it, Mark! Yes, I have a calf self-massage: ruclips.net/video/cW1qe1zCjng/видео.html
and a shin splints self-massage: ruclips.net/video/wuwc5opz6Ww/видео.html
Do you think that this self-massage is better than foam rolling or using a roller stick? What is the difference?
If it feels good and you get relief with a roller stick or foam roller, then go with it. In my experience, people tend to beat themselves up with these tools, which isn't helpful. With your hands, you have more control over the pressure and you're able to feel the contours of the tissue, and small areas that might be tight or tender.
