wow its very helpful post because nowadays everyone's having pain
Thanks! I have a lot more coming to help with all areas of the body.
Great post! Do you think these stretches would work without a ball? My calves are so tight and thick that I can barely wear boots :( I don't know if that would fix it but it's worth a try!
A little but you can use a tennis ball or another type of ball to do the exercises as well. The ball really helps pressure point release. Otherwise, there are better calf exercises w/o a ball. Straight leg calf stretch, downward dog pose, soleus muscle stretch, stretching off a step. Also, Foam rollers REALLY help @sunravelme
Thank you! That's a very through answer and I look forward to some nice loose calves!

Great post! And of interest! My calves are a trouble area due to full shank mountain boots, somewhat heavy pack weights and weak arches- and orthotics can only do but so much...
Ah yes. This would definitely help! I'll have other things in the future as well
Awesome sauce! I'm a PTA. very COOL to meet someone on Steemit who's in our profession!
Awesome! @chelsea88 , yea I noticed health/fitness isn't huge here so, I hope it'll grow in the future!
Where are you based out of?
I live in Maryland and work at a retirement community outside of DC. Where are you practicing?
Yes, i think it has a lot of potential to grow, so Keep doing what you are doing!
Nice! I'm in Los Angeles, working in a sports therapy clinic.
I hope so! This seems like a platform with potential so I'll keep steeming on :)
Awesome I shall follow you. :) have a pleasant day!
Right back at you! :)
