Calf Strain Stretching

The easiest way to do the calf stretch is by standing about 1 to 2 feet from a wall.

• 1. Lean against the wall with your arms outstretched.

• 2. Place one foot under your shoulders and one foot behind your body.

• 3. Keep your back foot flat on the ground, and feel a stretch in the back of your heel (the Achilles tendon).

• 4. Hold the stretch for a count of 10, and repeat. Do both sides.

To accentuate this stretch, point your back knee down toward the ground while keeping the foot flat on the floor.
