      Hope you are getting better. I can’t walk on my left leg. My injury happened 3 days ago. It felt like a pop in the middle of the my calf after running. Does anyone know when I should start the roller.

    I have been power walking for 34 years, and still like it. Over the years I have had at least 4 calf muscle pulls. I've always believed that the calf muscle is used for walking, whereas the thigh or ham muscle is used for running. Am I wrong in assuming this?

    The link shared for downloading exercise plan downloads the injury prevention exercises. Are the exercises same for prevention and cure? Otherwise Very informative video. Thanks a lot.

    I've watched other videos that actually suggest not stretching the muscle but to massage it, with the knee bent. This problem is mainly with the upper calf or the gastrocnemius in my case at least.

    What if I’m dealing with insertional Achilles pain during dorsiflexion but also have a calf strain. What’s the protocol for such injury ?

  • @drumrunner72

    Very helpful video. Are shoes which a higher drop and stability better for recurring calf injuries?

  • @Blackadder512
    @Blackadder512 18 дней назад +1

    Avoid shoes with an aggressive tow-to-heel drop? Isn't an aggressive drop putting less strain on the calf muscle? I am suffering from a recurring calf strain, looking into changing my shoes. I am doing most of my running with a pair of NBs with a 6mm drop, was thinking of trying a 10-12mm drop. But this is a bad idea, you are saying?

    • @colindittmer.

      I also thought that comment was not quite right.
      Zero drop shoes will tear a runners calves to shreds if they don't wean into them very slowly.
      High drop shoes are not natural but in the interim recovery period will put far less strain on the calves.

    My physiotherapist also mentioned that the muscles are connected all the way up in my back and that my tight hips and lower back issues could be very much connected with my continuous problems with calf strains.
    So, wouldn't the 3rd part of avoiding calf injuries be to have to hip and hamstring flexibility?

      The leg bone is connected to the foot bone 😉

    I have a question, I had a calf injury about two months by playing soccer. I let it rest for 3 days and went back to my running routine. 5miles a day excluding wednesdays and sundays. But didn’t play soccer for the “ healing process”. So a couple of days ago I decided to play soccer not roughly but sometimes that’s inevitable. So i felt the pain again. So this means, no running and soccer till i fully recover?. I’m 35 years old, please advice!

    I'm not a runner, but do a lot of hiking and weight lifting. I'm training for a big climb in a few months with a weighted vest (50 lbs now) and downhill has agitated my soleus (why does youtube mark that as mispelling?!) These exercises look promising. It's really hard to stop working out!

    As i Runner, i tried my Luck on having the adhesion removed from the Soleus/Gastrocnemious Area on my right leg. But Instead of removing adhesion on the certain spots, the massage Guy immediatly went full power without palpating. He Put full preassure and body wheight on the whole calf Area with very little oil, using only high direct preassure in rather fast upwards motions without any Dorsi/Plantarflexion. HIGHLY PAINFULL. He Said IT has to be done/hurt this way. I aborted after 15min. Now slightest Touch of the calf hurts and a weird Feeling / pain seems to be created since the "Treatment" on the Back of my right knee and also the groin Area on right Side when Walking. I believe die to the high preassure a Nerv might now be compressed. What would be best in such a Case? Try my Luck on a different therapist asap for new massage - or Just leave the brutally treated area alone for some time? 🤔

      Omg that sounds horrible! I hope u heal fully soon. I'm going through some calf strain due to over training and have been watching all these video on calf healing and happen to come across your comment. Hope u will feel better soon

      Good grief! What a quack! My experience in many many physical therapy sessions is that pain that goes away immediately is okay and if the pain persists...STOP!!! It hurts for a reason!

    There seems to be very little help for people that have recurring calf injuries. It seems as though it's something you have to live with.

      Disagree. This vid goes through the variations of a calf injury young and old. Watch it again. But pay attention this time.

    • @bizmonkey007
      @bizmonkey007 2 месяца назад

      It sucks. I think part of the problem is the scar tissue that accumulates which can lead to re-injury. There are videos that go over how to break up the scar tissue with massaging
