Calves Stretch

Keeping the front leg straight, slowly lean towards wall allowing back knee to bend. A comfortable stretch should be felt in the calve of the front leg.

Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times, then perform this same movement on the opposite side.

Tip:
A most valuable exercise in combination with the hamstring stretch.*
Caution:
Do not continue if you experience increased pain in your calve after you have completed this exercise.

Repeat this sequence 5 times.
Perform 2 times per day.
Perform 5 days per week.

*NOTE: It is normal to experience slight discomfort while performing stretches or certain exercises. However, if any exercise or stretch causes pain or more than just slight discomfort, please discontinue the exercise or stretch.
