‘’Calf pain gone, thank you, Optimus!’’
Calf pain can sneak up on anyone, whether you’ve sprinted a little too enthusiastically, spent the day standing, cycling for miles or simply woke up wondering why your legs are staging a protest.
Tight, achy calves aren’t just annoying; they can throw off your whole movement pattern and lead to knee, hip, or even back issues if left unchecked.
That’s where physiotherapy works its magic.
A physio doesn’t just stretch your calves and send you home. They assess why the pain is happening muscle imbalance, overuse, nerve irritation, poor biomechanics, or a hidden weakness that’s been quietly plotting against you.
Treatment often includes a tailored mix of hands-on techniques, targeted strengthening, mobility work, and gait retraining.
The goal?
To reduce pain, restore proper movement, and build stronger, happier calves that don’t complain every time you take the stairs or in this patients case, cycle!
