Are there precautions to take while performing calf stretches?
1. Warm-Up: Always warm up with light activity before stretching to prevent injury. 2. Avoid Overstretching: Stretch only to the point of mild discomfort, not pain. 3. Consistency: Regularity is key. Sporadic stretching can lead to strained muscles rather than improved flexibility. 4. Medical Conditions: If you have any existing medical conditions such as chronic pain or joint issues, consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new stretching routine.
