Loosen hardened calves
Supportive for prevention and pain relief
Do you have pain in your calves and want to loosen the calf muscles or loosen your hardened calves?
We will show you exercises to massage and relax your calf and improve mobility and strength in your ankles.
Your calf pain exercise program:
- Myofascial self-massage
- Triggering deep stress points
- Mobilization and stretching exercises
- Exercises for activation and strengthening
3-5 times a week
Do the exercises three to five times a week. If you don’t have time to do all of the exercises, choose one exercise for each area.
Get well soon!
You can do the activation and strengthening exercises separately as a preventive measure.
Myofascial self-massage for calf pain
Do you have hardened muscles or fascia in your calves? Then massaging your calves can help relieve the tension. If you want to work on the area holistically, you should also roll out the sole of your foot.
Releasing deep muscle tension associated with calf pain
After the myofascial self-massage, you can trigger your deep-lying fascial adhesions with the BLACKROLL® TRIGGER TOOLS. You can relieve deep tension with the acupressure technique. Find the point in your calf area that hurts the most.
Mobilization and stretching exercises for calf pain
Once the tension is released, round off the relaxation process with targeted stretching exercises. You should continue to stretch with the myofascial techniques.
Activation and strengthening exercises for calf pain
The activation and strengthening exercises are not part of the direct treatment of pain, but they can prevent calf problems. Weak leg muscles are often the main cause of calf problems. You should therefore perform specific exercises to strengthen your calves and leg muscles.
