Stretch All The Calf Muscles

There are 2 muscles in the calf that need to be stretched: the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Oftentimes, we only stretch the gastroc. Getting both stretched can help ankle, foot, and knee pain.

This actually worked! Thanks Dr

[@9espanatorres]

Love your videos

[@drkristieennis]

Thank you!

[@Farsider3955]

🤔…. Excellent advice!
By the way, the solias muscle is also one of the most overlooked muscles to workout properly (not just stretch properly).
I’ll bet it would be safe to say that about 90% of people you see working out their calf muscles in the gym are doing standing toe-raises only.
For individuals looking to improve their calf muscles’ strength even more (AND appearance!), they should (edit: also) do bent-knee toe-raises.
Many gyms have a machine specifically for this exercise - otherwise, just place a weight (such as a dumbbell or flat plate) on top of your thighs - with as much of that weight directly over the knees - in a seated position. There are several YT shorts showing this.

[@flashthompson7]

Yes I do this often so much tension builds up there. Note I make it a discipline to not exhaust the muscles by over stretching

[@drkristieennis]

That’s a very good point! Over stretching can cause issues too.

[@traaaaan]

[@johnlyndsay]

Thank you

[@obesevnce3013]

Thanks for the advice,and also the calf is a very important muscle when trying to do the kazotsky kick because when you kick out you’ll want it in working shape because it can cause pain when you kick out and sometimes when you walk it will hurt

[@Martin-xb2rz]

Do you have something to strengthen the foot riser

[@laurao2107]

Is the one with the cramp supposed to be straight or bent?
Cuz it hurts 😢😢

[@soniczforever5470]

I wanted to be sure if it was calf muscle I dont know what a gastrox muscle is

[@princeadam5705]

That’s how the shorts shelf works.

[@timothy897]

Thankssss

[@najmunnisapn3476]

thanks

[@007Yasir]

👌thank you, that’s good to know.

[@007Yasir]

That was an important demonstration. It’s those little details make a difference, Thank you.

[@drkristieennis]

You are welcome ☺️

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

Great point! I've found over the years I have to change the distance between the feet in order to achieve different results. Was there a reason you bent the elbows more in the second stretch?

[@drkristieennis]

Good question! It just happened to be more comfortable for me:)

[@kothimonkey]

my calves r so tight and i stretched like this and now i have plantar fasciitis 🥲

[@FatRaccoon-eh9ig]

Hi, I just discovered this channel as well as this video. So is this stretch good after a long run? I'm a runner and need to know more static stretches after a good run. Atm, my lower calves are aching and need to stretch them the right way.

[@drkristieennis]

Yes, it is!

[@francisco546]

Thank you I am now able to run longer

[@drkristieennis]

Awesome!

[@mapofthesoultagme7143]

is this stretching the back leg or the front one?
I also don't get what you mean by "cross the forward foot in front."

[@drkristieennis]

This is stretching the back of the leg. If the right leg is in front, you want to cross it so it is to the left of the left foot.

[@j.st.jamesesq.9599]

Another "Thumbs Up."

[@drkristieennis]

Thanks so much!

[@its_reeemmmoo4407]

Good

Ive beat the living crap out of my body, been in hospitals more than my share, and i never had a doctor as beautiful and attractive as you. Honestly, im feeling kind of ripped off. 😭😉

[@mothluvsu]

girl i cant feel shit. like i feel like im just leaning on a wall..bc i am. my calves hurt so bad rn from skateboarding pls give me a better calf stretch than this

[@drkristieennis]

I often have my patients start with soft tissue work if stretching hurts. Typically, the muscle, fascia, and knots need to be released first.

[@gongshow6766]

Thanks Dr. This worked but after viewing your video I got stiff in another area! Just sayin maybe I'm the victim or beneficiary?

[@Mustang-bk4ns]

✨ Beautiful lady giving some valuable time to share good news with all those stopping by. I like the ideas on stretching 🎉

[@MintzRBLX]

I strecthed it too much and it snapped. You guys gotta be careful because the achilles is really easy to tear just like those old rubber bands that rip easily, if you start feeling the stretch stop becauss it is dangerous at that point
Ok im joking
