The tiger tail is an implement used to perform a form of self myo-fascial release.
Using the tiger tail on the back of your calves is a great way to warm up and cool down for your workout, especially if you plan to perform lower body exercises that require the calves to be more mobile.
When you perform SMR on your calves, or any muscle group for that matter, you alleviate some of the tension that is built up during the day and your workouts.
