RE: Calf and Ankle Tightness? Let's get rid of it - CALF(GASTROC) RELEASE

in #health7 years ago

Great post! Do you think these stretches would work without a ball? My calves are so tight and thick that I can barely wear boots :( I don't know if that would fix it but it's worth a try!

Sort:  

A little but you can use a tennis ball or another type of ball to do the exercises as well. The ball really helps pressure point release. Otherwise, there are better calf exercises w/o a ball. Straight leg calf stretch, downward dog pose, soleus muscle stretch, stretching off a step. Also, Foam rollers REALLY help @sunravelme

Thank you! That's a very through answer and I look forward to some nice loose calves!
