Why calves get tight

Calves absorb a large share of the force of each stride, especially on hills and hard pavements. A rise in running distance, a change to lighter shoes, long shifts standing and heels all add to it.

Stretches between sessions

Stretch against a wall with the knee straight, then with it bent, holding each for 30 seconds. Seated calf raises help the muscles adapt to load.

Reviews

Massage for tight calves reviews

★★★★★
I have suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James. Since I started working with James, and getting regular treatment from him, I have stayed injury free for over 3 years.

It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
