🔷THE 3D CALF STRETCH
Last week I showed you guys how to stretch the anterior compartment of the Lower leg. Today we're looking at the back ↪️group of leg muscles (calf, tibialis posterior) Let's be honest 🖐, everyone has stretched these muscles since they were a kid. But we can make it more specific by targeting 🎯 different areas of the calf Setup as usual: 🔹Get into a staggered stance by a wall 🔹Your trailing foot/calf is to be stretched 🔹Toes are pointing forward 🔹Keep the heel on the ground ⬇️ 🔹Shift your pelvis forward to feel the stretch in the mid-part of the muscle (in red) 👉Now to change it up by changing your foot position . 🔺Keep the same pelvis, thigh and shin position 🔺Pivot the trailing foot so your toes are pointing slightly out↩️. This stretches the medial part of the calf 🔺Pivot the foot so your toes are pointing slightly in ↪️.This stretches the lateral part of the calf Hold each pivot position 30-45 seconds🕠 as needed, each leg
