Tight calves are terrible for your feet. Here’s why 👇
When your calf muscles (and Achilles tendon) are tight, your ankle can’t bend properly.
So your body compensates.
That extra pressure has to go somewhere and it usually goes to:
• The midfoot
• The ball of the foot
• The toes
Over time, the constant overload can lead to pain, inflammation, stress injuries, arthritis, and even deformities.
Many people focus on stretch their hamstrings, but very few stretch their calves consistently.
If you have chronic foot pain, limited ankle flexibility could be a root cause.
