There are various techniques to perform calf stretches effectively. Here are two common methods: Standing Calf Stretch:
Stand facing a wall with your hands placed on the wall at shoulder height. Step one leg back, keeping it straight with the heel on the ground. Bend the front knee and lean forward, keeping the back leg straight and heel on the floor. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
Seated Calf Stretch:
Sit with your legs extended and feet flexed towards you. Wrap a towel or resistance band around the ball of one foot. Gently pull the towel or band towards you, keeping the leg straight. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
