Calf Stretches I am often prescribing calf stretches for people with tight calf muscles. I see them in the clinic with problems such as plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendinitis, achilles tendinitis and tendinosis, hallux valgus, tibialis posterior tendonitis, and the list just goes on.Lift one leg off the ground, and perform single-leg heel raises, also known as calf lifts, with the other. Move through a complete range of motion, from as low as you can go to as high as you can.
High-heels keeps the calf muscles in a constant shortened position. Over time, the calf muscles will adapt to this length and tighten up. Exercise. Tight calves can also result from exercise and athletic training that hasn’t been sufficiently complemented with stretching and massaging to loosen the muscles.But whether you’re cranking up the mileage (and want to avoid shin splints—a common result of tight calves) or just fail to prioritize stretching out your lower limbs, these calf stretches are going to save you.

This will being to place more of a stretch on medial tissues like medial gastroc and tibialis posterior. Repeat this process with the rear knee bent to target the soleus muscle lower in the calf.

Would you recommend doing all the stretches in the video one by one in succession in a sort of routine, or to simply choose one of the stretch exercises at any point in the day and switch it up every so often?
thank you so much! Can the pain and tightness and tiredness in the calves be caused by the wrong way of walking?
if someone puts the foot the a surface as like 1:03 does not need stretch its calves.
Hard to do when i have knee, back, shoulder, wrist and hand pain from arthritis. Any other way to do that?
I think it’s better to keep it in place once in a while and breath out and release.
Thanks so much for these stretches! Can you recommend which type of foam roller is best for the calf vs other muscle groups?
Thanks Caroline…I love running and my left calve has suddenly started to seize doing lots of exercises and yes so wished I started earlier ���� loads of love ��

I had a good calf workout and was sore for 1 days and this was very helpful in stretching out the muscle thx
I know this vid is old & you’ll probably never see this, but just in case you do, i want to say THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!! I recently started working out & about a week ago after working out, my calfs & knees were hurting so bad to the point i could barely get out of bed & walk.
I tried icey hot, knee compression sleeves, cold compresses, nothing was working for my discomfort. Found this video last night, did ALL of the stretches & was able to do my workout with very little discomfort. Don’t know why i didn’t find you sooner. This is exactly what i needed. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!��
Now i just need to figure out how to lose 40lbs in 2 days������
I did and the pain stops for some times and
After some time the pain starts again help
makes sense now, I had a load of problems a while back and noticed my calves were tight. Did some stretches and it almost cured the problem overnight. channels like this are incredibly helpful, saves wasting time at the doctors.
Yesterday i couldn’t sleep because of my calves pain, because i skipped the cool down stretching after workout for my calves.. This video helped me a lot so thank you
I had tight calf muscles problems, over time
I stand on a 1/2″ plank shoulder width, placing the ball of the foot only on the plank and let your heels touch the floor, after any long walk or run, best done after fa full stretch, as the muscles relax and become comfortable in this stretched position.
RESPECT and keep working
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM!!!
I JUST CAME FROM A HARD,HARD RUN,MY LONGEST YET AND MY BODY WAS STIFF AS NAILS
I SEARCHED,FAR AND WIDE,BACKA ND FORTH (youd be surprised how many useless,repetitive stretches there are out there..well for me at least)
THANK YOU, MY GOODNESS YOU ARE A JACKPOT!!!
i have chronic painful tight calves. i stretch them everyday but it goes back to tight the day after. what could it be? my calves/restricted dorsiflexion put me in APT and make my foot/hip flexors tight.
thanks you for this vid
i tried skipping instead of usual workout and damn my calves.i tried many channels.. not comparing but man your stretching suggestions are sooooo effective!!!
Hi Caroline, Can this routine be done if someone has EDS hypermobility? If so, how often per day can it be done? I have very painful gastro/soleus affecting my feet. Thank you for all the videos you put out.

My medial knee hurts the day after I do any hamstring stretches:(
This is some weirdly inspo music for a simple calf stretch lol
THAT WAS AMAZING! ^_^ thank you for this really helped my sore calves post-HIIT
I’m not able to put my toes facing my head and my doctor says I need surgery to stretch my calf muscle I’m scared like comment to wish me luck
Very good, the last two stretches were also given to me by my PT. I know this can also be a cause of hip pain if your foot is not making contact with the ground properly. I have also been doing some toe curls under my foot at the same time as I point my foot to stretch the muscles on the front of my calf. So amazing how they all work together and we don’t even think about them until they hurt.
i have that thing at home..never know how to use it..i didn’t liked it..
i rather use my hands rub my calves?
i try to do this on my shoulder blades area..
i can’t move like that..
I had plantar fasciitis on the foot where I’d ankle surgery, and I started stretching my calves every day and rubbing my heel and foot on a golf ball. On days when I felt brave I rubbed it on a marble, and I could really feel the pressure being relieved.
Ok, before this video I wasn’t able to walk, I did ONE of the exercises and I DONT FEEL ANY PAIN
BRO U R AMAZING
Chuckled at “positive attitude” �� I need this routine. Thanks Caroline ��
Haha LOOVE the secret sauce! XD XD XD <3 Thanks for the stretching video!

Hey I have big calves and thighs and it’s muscle how do I get them skinnier?
hey,if anyone else needs to find out about increase height naturally stretching exercises try Magonsi Tall Tales Expert ( search on google )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
Thanks you for this very concise video, but I’m disturbed by those horrifically tight leggings! So gross!
Thanks for sharing these exercises. I am almost 40 yrs old and do Martial Arts. I do have some weight that I need to drop, maybe 15 lbs. The videos that I have watched are areas that I need strengthening and increase flexibility. I will continue to look out for other videos that you do.
Hey Kristie, what would your focus be for someone that under-pronates (supinates) and has plantar fasciitis?
how about some that do not require dd? I am recovering from bilat ankle fractures
Just look for Unflexal page. You will find there the best workouts instructions.
hello, thanks for all your videos. I have a question. I have been having a pain in the posterior of my right shoulder since a long time, and the only stuff that i found online are about pain in the front or top of the shoulder. it bothers me especially during bench pressing motion but not during shoulder exercises.and the posterior of my shoulder clunks when i for example i clean the table with a sponge. I can’t find anything so if you have any idea. Thanks
I went for a run on the morning, and the calf on my right leg was so tight!
How can I make the one against the wall stretch my calf muscle more? Do you stand with your legs further apart so that your leaning at more of an angle? Excellent video!
Hi Kristie! I wondering where or who would u recommend getting tha Derma Edge from? Seems my calves r tight everyday so I definitely use ur advice. Thanx��
You can use Unflexal instructions to learn about workouts guys.

I was too tight for most of these and the time went too quickly in the transition so I only held the stretch for a short time
Flexing the foot tightens the calf muscles. It is best to relax the foot, relaxing the calf, while using roller on already tight calves.
Here because I’m a rider with tight calves and need to loosen them up to improve my form. Thank you for the help.
Thank you so much for making this!!! I have VERY tight calves and this video gave them some much-needed relief.
Great stretches! After wearing heels for work for the last 22 years, my calves are super tight. Loved the ‘secret sauce’ move. ��
Informative video….never thought the calf would be causing the problem in my foot. Maybe next focus on the foot and calf in the video. The filming was a bit off…..no close ups.
Me being a mad dancer oh come on girl point your foot at least In intro pleaseee
How do you create that bright white background in the video?
This helped me so much especially after running a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I really needed this; I’m trying this later today ��
