Standing Calf Stretch

Purpose: To comfortably and precisely stretch the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of the calf. It is important to keep your calves flexible when you have foot problems like plantar fasciitis. Good calf flexibility also improves your balance and gait because full range of motion in your ankle joint allows you to walk more freely and with a longer stride.

Using The Orange Therapy held securely in The BackStrap™ stand with the top of your foot over the Orange ball and the heel on the ground.

Tip: Try the Blue Therapy ball if the orange ball feels too intense. As you gain flexibility you will be able to advance to the Orange Therapy ball.

Next, stand with your knee as straight as possible keeping your heel on the floor. This localizes the stretch to the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf. Hold for 30 seconds

Next, bend the knee keeping your heel on the floor. This localizes the stretch lower down the calf to the soleus muscle. Hold for 30 seconds.

Repeat knee straight to bent 3 times holding for 30 seconds each.
