"Hi, welcome back to Expert Village. This is what we are going to do is we are going to do another technique on relieving tension on the calf. This technique is kind of a combination between stroking and friction okay. So you can, the best way is to actually lift the leg up on this one. You don't want to press down too much but you really want to get down in there. You really want to create that friction and stroking. Stroke, stroke, the pressure and the movement is a stroke. The actually competitive movement is the friction. So you want to kind of return Venus, you want to go up, you want to go up towards the body. Go up back up to the heart. This right here is going to create so much blood flow the person foot is going to be tingling. That is what you want. So pressure and stoke, stroke, stroke. This is going to create a lot of heat also so you do not want to do this too much. This is not warming up this is really getting in there. So apply that pressure and continue this motion."
