Stretching your leg isn't fixing the problem. Here's why. This technique uses rhythmic patting and deep rubbing on the calf and thigh muscles. This increases blood flow and releases fascial adhesions that static stretching can't reach, providing deeper relief. 🦵 Know someone with constant leg tightness? Send this to them and save their day.
