Gastroc & Soleus Stretch Modification
This video demonstrates the modification to the gastrocnemius and soleus stretches. This modification will hopefully help make the stretch easier to attain.
Soleus Stretch
This video demonstrates the soleus stretch, which is another very large calf muscle. The soleus blends into the Achilles’ tendon which forms a strong connection with the plantar fascia. The soleus may be treated for many reasons and this stretch is recommended regularly.
Gastrocnemius Stretch
This video demonstrates the gastrocnemius stretch, which is a very large calf muscle. The gastrocnemius has two heads, which both cross the knee joint. The muscle eventually blends into the Achilles’ tendon which forms a strong connection with the plantar fascia. The gastrocnemius may be treated for many different reasons and this stretch is often recommended.
