Stretch Of The Week – Three Position Calf Stretch

Three Position Calf Stretch

STRETCH OF THE WEEK:

Three Position Calf Stretch

 

The three position calf #stretch is perfect for anyone who suffers from constant tight calves which can lead to ankle pain or knee pain, not to mention an achilis tendon rupture 😫. This stretch will get both the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle, as well as the soleous muscle, and achilis tendon.

If you are someone who is on your feet a lot, or involved in any endurance sport where you are constantly using your calf or performing flexion and dorsiflexion of your foot, you should add this easy stretch in to your daily routine! I’m talking to runners, bikers, rock climbers, tennis, football, and basketball players, hikers, etc.
