If you’re frustrated with stubborn cankles—those thick, undefined ankles that seem impossible to slim down—you’re not alone. But the good news is, there is a natural, effective way to address them without surgery or extreme exercise.
In this blog, I’ll walk you through an easy at-home routine using your Ashley Black Beginner’s Kit. With consistent use of the FaceBlaster, Original FasciaBlaster, and Nugget tool, you can transform your ankles and bring back definition and grace.
Why Do We Get Cankles?
Before we start FasciaBlasting, let’s take a moment to understand why cankles happen in the first place.
✨ Your body is actually trying to protect you.
When your feet turn inward or outward, your ankle joints become unstable. In response, your fascia—your body's connective tissue—creates adhesions to help stabilize the area. It’s brilliant, really. But it also leads to bulk, puffiness, and a loss of ankle definition.
So first, let’s thank our fascia for coming to our rescue. And now, let’s teach it a better way by realigning, releasing, and restoring the area with proper FasciaBlasting.
Step 1: Alignment First – Your Foundation Matters
Before you grab your tools, get into proper posture:
Stand with your feet forward, heels hidden behind your toes.
Avoid rolling your ankles inward or outward.
Strengthen your big toe if needed—it’s key to arch support.
Slightly rotate your quadriceps outward (just half an inch!) to lift your inner arches.
These small adjustments help retrain your fascia and prevent it from forming new adhesions.
Step 2: Start with the Superficial Layer – FaceBlaster
Tool: FaceBlaster (Superficial Tooth Tool)
Goal: Warm up the tissue and increase blood flow
How-To:
Apply oil and start at your foot, gliding over the metatarsals at a medium, brisk pace.
Move to your inner ankle, gliding over the bone and down to the heel.
Repeat on the outer ankle.
Go up from the ankle to the belly of the calf muscle, all around the leg.
✅ Pro Tip: Many people get sticky fascia on the outside of the shin—don’t skip it!
💡 Fascia loves to stick to porous bone when unhealthy, especially around joints. We’re here to gently unglue it.
Step 3: Go Deeper – Original FasciaBlaster or Big Daddy
Tool: Original FasciaBlaster (Deeper Tooth Tool)
Goal: Break up deeper adhesions for real transformation
How-To:
Repeat the full movement pattern: foot to calf, around the entire ankle.
Focus on areas where fascia feels “stuck” or dense—this is where the magic happens.
Use a single tooth to glide gently over the top of the foot, and over inner and outer ankles.
Step 4: Fine Tune – Nugget Tool
Tool: Nugget (Precision Fascia Tool)
Goal: Detail work for definition and release
How-To:
Use the dull end between your toes. Move about an inch upward, separating metatarsals.
Do a “poke, wiggle, wiggle” move from the ball of the foot to the heel.
Use this same move up the peroneal muscles (outer shin).
For tight tendons or sticky spots, try “crayoning”—glide back and forth under bones for deeper release.
✅ Stabilize with both hands if you’re oiled up—this helps keep the tool from bouncing.
Step 5: Lymphatic Flush
Don’t forget to flush up toward your lymph ducts, especially behind the knee, to support detox and help move toxins out of your system. This step is key to reducing puffiness and speeding up visible results.
How Long Should You FasciaBlast?
Aim to spend 3 to 5 minutes per section:
Foot and ankle
Lower calf and shin
✅ Always follow this sequence:
Superficial Tool
Deeper Tool
Nugget for Detail Work
Bonus Tips for Long-Term Results
Do it regularly: 3–5x a week if you want to see change fast.
Hydrate: Healthy fascia needs water!
Stretch & strengthen: Especially your big toe, arches, and hips.
Final Thoughts: You Can Transform Cankles
Cankles aren’t permanent. With the right tools, alignment, and fascia support, you can redefine your lower legs and restore proper function. I’ve seen countless transformations—including my own clients—just by sticking to this gentle yet powerful routine.
