Calf Stretch

     Calf Stretch

Position yourself as shown with the affected leg behind. Ensure that:

Lean towards the wall, bending the front knee. Feel the stretch over the calf muscles (back of lower leg).

-Hold all stretches for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3 times.
-Do your stretches at least once a day.
-Avoid holding your breath and relax your muscles (over the area of stretch) as much as possible.
