Rolling your thigh/calf over a "roller", using your body weight (usually)  to apply pressure to soft tissue. There are some videos in that link.

It can be very effective when fascia tissue is hanging up causing pain. Plantar fascitis, ITBS, etc. Or maybe it's just a placebo affect, but it seemed to help me a lot.

What exactly is rolling?  I assume it is what it sounds like...
