Great stretch series. Planning on doing all of them after every workouts. Does it matter what kind of foam roller you use? I have one with elevated parts all over, would that still work or should I get one like yours?

I’m on summer vacation and did exactly what I swore I wouldn’t-going to the gym knowing how easily sore I get. I’ve been rather consistent working out but after trying some new exercises in my routine, my calves are screaming. I’ve tried using my (Track) coaches advice but the pain was sore to the gentlest touch and the stretch’s weren’t helping. After playing and following this video, I feel like I have brand new calves and can move around the house without a limp! Vacation saved!! Awesome work, immediately subscribed!

They say it may take months, and I am working out every day, but I feel I’m losing the battle and it’s demoralizing.

Agreed. If already at plantar fasciitis mode, fir a day or two. use nubby rollers on soles of feet several times a day, and on calves a little, to help mobilize a little, before jumping right to these.

I went to the physio with this problem . They only gave me 1 exercise and I was out of pocket $70! And the pain keeps returning !These stretches are way more thorough and helpful . Thank you SO much for providing these ! The difference I feel is immediate ! I’ve taken up slow jogging with mid foot landing . As a result I have incurred this niggling and painful injury . I’m going to give these a red hot go for the next week and feel confident I can ease myself back into it . 🙏🙏🙏

Also, everyone may wsnt to consider supplements for potassium, as well. Most athletes know sbout magnesium and sodium, but that really needs to be 3 way balance with potassium. Liquid supplements are best in my opinion for potassium. Pink Himalayan or celtic grey for salt, and magnesium chloride (lotion , mag oil topical ) for ease and comfort. Warm Epsom salt soak can help, with all the stretches, as well.

That bent leg stretch.. Wow!

Has anyone added that also doing an isometric (pressing into ball of foot) in some of these positions will mobilize old lactic acid, stress chemicals stored in the fascia? Release of the fascia is probably what you need, if basic muscle stretches do not seem to be effective. Esp. Over time, like weeks or months. Still looking for the perfect video about this, but this video is close!

Hi can u make a video on PIVD plz. Like both Cervical slip disc (C5, C6, C7) plus lumbar slip disc ( L3, L4, L5-S1), because many people like in IT industry are facing this problem and still after many years wasted so much money still not healed. I hope I can get permanent cure from your yoga asana. CAN U ALSO PLZ GIVE SUCH ASANAS WHICH CAN PUT THE DISC BACK INSIDE NUCLEUS PULPOSUS AND PLUS REMOVE FROM PINCHING NERVE

Hi Jared. You mentioned your clinic. Where can I get more info on this? Couldn't find it on your YT channel.

Thanks I'm a big guy (fat) but genetically I have giant calf muscles no idea why considering i barely do leg day but regardless due to how large my calf muscles plus my flat feet I now have plantar fasciitis in both feet and achilles tendonitis in my right foot currently in recovery I nearly ruptured my tendon so these stretches should help lots after I finish my 6-8 week recovery

Ha I have both Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. I wish informational stuff is out there because I'm 36 and no doctor no nobody has ever spoken about this until the internet became popular and by that nobody looked it up unless a problem

Hi Jared. I am recovering from a left calf injury (tear?). These exercises seem great but should/can one do them while muscles "cold" or must I warm them up somehow? Also how long does a calf take to recover (I know it depends on the injury but... 2 weeks)?? Great videos by the way... well done!

@toneandtighten

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jorge! Sorry to hear about your calf. Warming the muscles up will definitely help them to feel better, but isn't mandatory before the exercises. Depending on the severity of the injury, average time to heal is 2-6 weeks. Good luck!

Recently I had issues with my left calf muscle and ankle area swelling up a little bit after I pulled my calf muscles during sleep when laying down and it went into a spasm. Painful it was but I think since running again and being dehydrated during sleep, perhaps that might be causing it because I’m not experiencing that now. I’m not wearing socks at the moment so it will improve the circulation to my calf muscle and ankle but recently I’ve noticed a bunion develop on my left foot after the slight swelling in my left calf muscle and ankle went down. I’m flat footed and I’ve run and cycled all my life, done plyometrics years ago when I did athletics but now I just run on a treadmill in my gym and use their fitness equipment for general fitness, and occasionally I run on the road, mainly towards the station when I’m late. So now I’m trying to figure out what’s causing a bunion on my left foot? I’m using for now temporarily a sponge in between my big toe and small toes to space them out and reduce the inflammation on my bunion. Im sure it stems from tightness in my left calf muscle because I have been lazy recently with stretches at home when I’m inactive. Any ideas? Thanks.

Duuuude, my calves were so tight today that I couldn’t stand up straight. Thanks for that runners stretch, I can finally stand 😅. But that roller was a great warmup of the stretches.

Dr. Jared, perfect timing for this vid. My calf injury is going on 2 1/2 months. I wasn't doing anything strenuous prior, and I can't flex it, very little swelling. I've seen my Dr but she said it's too early to diagnose the problem. I just woke up with this pain in my knee one morning in June and I was limping. Now my other knee hurts.

So, you mentioned facia causing issues. How will these stretch for someone who has had long period of tight calves? I ended up tearing my Achilles’ tendon because of tight calves. So it’s been about a year. But I can’t figure out how to relax them
