Don’t miss this vital step ☝🏽
So many people spend lots of time stretching their calves over and over again but they continue to tighten right back up…😞
As a physical therapist, when it comes to improving mobility and decreasing muscle tightness- I know how powerful movement can be ✅
Following up a typical stretch with a movement that then uses the muscle can be a game changer 🙌🏼
For example- following up a calf stretch with 15-30 calf raises can help to make the mobility gains last longer ☝🏽
It may not be immediate- consistency is key, especially if your calf muscles have been tight for a long time. You may need a few times of doing this to unlock them 👀
With arthritis, especially knee and hip arthritis, calf muscles can become really tight making walking, stairs and inclines difficult 😣
This may be just what you need…
