Place the soleus over the roller and gently roll up and down. The soleus can be located by placing two fingers above the ankle bone. The Soleus is below the Calf muscle and above the ankle. Roll up the back in the center then roll the inside and outside of the soleus. The soleus is the master headquarters to all the muscles leading down into the foot.
