New Form Physio

I have been getting a lot of questions about tight calves with running.

To stretch them out or warm them up, try this downward dog stretch for 1min.

But what does it really mean? Calves “blowing up” is not a normal part of running and can mean a ton of different things. The simplest solution is to start strengthening the calves and roll them out to loosen them up.

BUT, my suggestion would be to get it checked out by your trusted physio, AT, chiro, etc to see what is the root cause and get a personalized exercise program to prevent injury.
