Calf Static Stretching - Gastrocnemius Stretch Achilles

Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Behnken, MS, CSCS

Static stretching for your gastrocnemius IS the most exciting thing you can do in the gym, this is if you have had heel spurs or plantar fasciitis. You know that how much those 2 conditions absolutely suck and how much you don't want them again.

Keeping the optimal length-tension relationship of your calves will help prevent heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.

Perform this static stretch for 30 seconds after your SMFR on the same calf for optimal results.

The SMFR will loosen up the muscle and your static stretch will be more effective.
