Calf stretches
Posted: Tue May 27, 2014 7:06 pm
Does anyone know any good calf stretches that DON'T also stretch the Achilles? I want to avoid over-stretching the tendon, but feel like my calves need a good stretch.

Just lean against your couch or chair and use your knee to massage the muscles. The knee can get in deep between the muscles and for me this works better than rolling or lacrosse ball.
