Calf Massage Exercise video

Sore Calves from a hard run or GREAT balletone workout? Use a tennis ball to work out the kinks using this technique! Enjoy!

Your body's two calf muscles--gastrocnemius and soleus--help you walk, run and jump. Because of their unique anatomy and because of the way they act on your knee and ankle joints, your calf muscles are extremely powerful and can perform an incredible amount of work. But what happens when you sustain a calf injury? According to New Zealand-based sports medicine physician Dr. Ruth Highet, "Calf muscle injuries are extremely disabling when they occur, as they often do, during a short sprint on the tennis court, or soccer field, at the athletics track or during a high intensity aerobics class." Massage is a constructive way to cope with your calf strain. It's been used for many years to speed healing and prevent injuries in active people.
