Why are my calves sensitive and why is it beneficial to massage them?
📚 Your calves can feel sensitive for several reasons, including muscle tension from repetitive use, restricted blood flow, fascial tightness that leads to knots, nerve irritation, or simply overuse from compensating for inhibited muscles in other areas. Because the calves play a major role in walking, running, and circulation, they often accumulate microtears and stiffness that make them tender to the touch.
✨Massaging the calves is highly beneficial because it improves circulation, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the muscles while flushing out metabolic waste products like lactic acid. It also helps release tension and break down adhesions in the fascia, reducing pain and improving flexibility. Regular massage supports injury prevention by decreasing stress on the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, and knees, while also enhancing recovery after activity and improving athletic performance and ankle mobility.
