A calf stretcher guide

Posted by Adrian

A calf stretcher is a device that is used to get a deep controlled stretch on the calf muscle. After completing an exercise program or participating in sporting activity, people commonly use static stretching to relieve tension in the calf muscle, increase blood flow, and reduce post activity delayed onset muscle soreness.

A common problem associated with static stretching is hyper extension of the knee, whilst trying to push the leg back into a deeper stretch or lifting of the back foot due to a lack of flexibility in the achillis tendon.

So how can a calf stretcher help? These unique devices work by placing the foot or feet on an angled, curved bottom platform and gently moving the foot back and forth in a smooth and controlled manner. With just a few minutes a day a calf stretcher can be used by athletes to strengthen and improve flexibility of the lower limbs, or a rehabilitation tool to relieve painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis.
