Calf Wall Stretch

Calf & Achilles release

Ankles calves

How to

Facing a wall with hands pressed against it, step one foot back and press that heel firmly into the floor, keeping the back leg straight and the front knee bent.

Benefits

  • Directly targets the calf muscle and Achilles tendon
  • Especially useful after running, hiking, or wearing heels
  • Bending the back knee slightly shifts the stretch deeper toward the Achilles

Practice

Hold 20-30 seconds per side, keeping the back foot pointed straight ahead rather than turned out.
