🦶 Ankle pain or stiffness? Start with your calves.
Tight calf muscles can limit ankle movement and contribute to pain, stiffness, and reduced balance. Regular calf stretching can make a big difference in how your ankle feels and moves.
Why calf stretching helps:
✔️ Improves ankle mobility
✔️ Reduces stiffness and tension
✔️ Supports walking, running & balance
✔️ Helps prevent flare-ups and injuries
👉 Try holding calf stretches for 20–30 seconds, repeating 2–3 times, and aim to stretch both the straight-knee (gastrocnemius) and bent-knee (soleus) positions.
If ankle pain or stiffness is lingering, our physios can help assess the cause and create a plan that works for you.
