Technique – Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart in front of the wall. Place your hands onto the wall shoulder width apart. You will be stretching one calf muscle at a time, step back keeping your leg straight allowing your front leg to bend. Lean forwards onto the wall allowing your elbows to bend. Press the ball of your foot into the floor until you feel your calf muscle stretch. Hold this position for a count of 5. Lean forwards to relieve pressure on the calf muscles. Repeat this technique with the other calf muscle until full stretched also repeat this technique with the other leg.
