Can you foam roll to much?

[soveryexcited]

My calves have been bugging me lately and they have what feels like a knot in the lower calf. I've been foam rolling them but they don't seem to be improving a whole lot. Is there such a thing as too much foam rolling?

When you bruise. See my IT band Do you rest the roller on the knots? That's what I've been told to do to loosen then

Put one calf over the other to add weight to the calf you want to roll out and when you find the knots, stop and relax into it until it works loose.

I think calf knots are tough to get at with a foam roller. Try a tennis ball and put one leg over the other to add weight like pp said.

I second the tennis ball recommendation.  I use a tennis ball on certain areas (back, neck) that the foam roller doesn't do such a good job on.

I got the Stick, and its so much easier to use on my calves the my foam roller.
