Conseils techniques
Loop a towel or resistance band around the ball of your foot. Avoid holding onto your toes directly as this could cause strain. Pull the towel or band towards you while keeping your knee straight. This should create a gentle stretch in your calf muscles.
Avoid jerky or rapid movements which can lead to muscle strain or injury. Instead, ensure that you are slowly and gently pulling the towel or band towards you.
Hold the stretch for about 20-30 seconds, then release. Repeat this several times. A common mistake is not holding the stretch long enough, or holding it for too long. Both can result in less effective stretching or potential injury.
