Self Stretch 1
Stretch the lower lateral net which also encompasses the fibularis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and the soleus muscles.
In laymen’s terms, we are stretching the side of the shin. If you have shine splints, this one is for you! You’ll need a towel or long pillow case to start.
Lay on your back, and place the towel around the arch of your foot. Extend your leg straight, around 90 degrees and flex your foot. Once you are there, take a deep inhale, and while you exhale, cross your leg over your midline and tilt your toes away from the outside of your leg. Breathe through this stretch, go slow, and don’t push yourself into pain. Allow your body to relax into the stretch.

Three ways to stretch your lats!
I don’t know about you, but a lat stretch ALWAYS feels good.
If you’re needing new, fun ways to target these large back muscles, here you go! The best part about these stretches is they not only target the lats (latissimus dorsi), they also target the following fascial nets:🕸 functional net
🕸 lateral net
🕸 superficial back net
🕸 spiral net
🕸 superficial and deep back arm nets.
Which simply means this is no isolated stretch. Fascial stretching allows you to target so much more than one tiny area. All of these nets associated with these stretches cover you from head to toe!
Think full body stretch with emphasis on ____!
Deep breath, move slow, and play with angles!
Easy, deep chest stretch
There are so many ways to open up the chest. This stretch in particular is one of my current faves.
Here’s why:
Not only do I feel this stretch from the very tippy top of my pec major all the way down to the very bottom, attacking allll the fibers; this stretch incorporates 4 different fascial nets:
1. The functional net
2. The deep front net
3. The deep front arm net
4. The superficial front arm net
You can use just about anything to do this stretch. A table, chair, couch, medicine ball, etc.
Try this stretch and let me know what you think!
