While calf stretching is generally safe, nurses should take certain precautions:
- Warm-Up: Always warm up with light activity before stretching to prevent injury. - Avoid Overstretching: Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain. - Consult a Professional: If you have any pre-existing conditions or injuries, consult a healthcare professional before starting a stretching routine. - Listen to Your Body: Stop stretching if you experience sharp pain or discomfort.
