Practical use
Use steady pressure through the muscular part of the calf.
How it works
Calves
Use steady pressure through the muscular part of the calf. Start broadly, avoid pressing into bone, and add precision only around smaller tight areas.
FrontBack
Recommended pressure type
K
Knuckle
Best starting point for this zone.
The calf is a dense but manageable muscle that responds well to broad, steady contact. A knuckle point covers the muscle evenly without concentrating pressure in one spot.
Use safely
Begin with light pressure and increase gradually only while it remains comfortable. Stop if you feel sharp or increasing pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness, or unusual weakness.

How to use
Step-by-step guide
Follow the steps in order, from setting up the tool to working through the area.
Get Into Position
Sit with leg extended
Rest your calf over the tool.
Find the muscle
Let the knuckle points sit in the back of your lower leg.
Avoid sensitive areas
Stay away from the knee crease and the Achilles tendon.
Work the Muscle
Let your leg settle
Use the weight of your leg to build pressure gradually.
Move up and down
Work slowly along the length of the calf.
Switch for tight spots
Use a smaller point for denser areas as needed.
