• Divide the calves into sections: outer line, back, and inner line.
  • Place the static cups on the front of the lower leg. This area often becomes tense when skiing, especially during intense poling.
  • Use the mini dynamic cup if available, or the dynamic cup along the outer line (outer lower leg), moving over the muscle running from below the knee down to the ankle. This muscle works hard to stabilize the foot and maintain balance while skiing. Perform smooth gliding strokes 3-5 times.
  • Continue with 3-5 gliding strokes per section on the back and inner lines.
  • Start as low as possible and cup upwards toward the knee.
  • Reduce suction by releasing some vacuum if the movement feels too tight or intense. Move slowly for a soothing effect.
  • Finish by removing the static cups from the front and using the dynamic cup there if desired.
  • If you don’t have static cups, use the dynamic cup and finish by leaving the cup in place on the outer lower leg, near the knee, for 1 minute, then on the front of the lower leg for another minute after cupping all sections of the calves.
