Exercise and Treatment for calf pain relief

Lower leg pain affects athletes of all types. Whether you’re a bodybuilder, runner, cyclist or just someone who lives an active lifestyle, your legs are working through every movement and step you take. So it’s not so surprising when they start hurting even when it’s not leg day at the gym, especially your calf.

Many people assume it’s the muscles that are causing their pain, when it’s actually the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve is like a wire that runs all the way down your leg to your foot then splits off to supply movement and power to those muscles.

Since the achilles is attached to the calf, it’s a common misunderstanding for people to confuse their achilles tendon pain with their calf pain and vice versa. So if the restets your about to learn don’t alleviate your pain, give these achilles stretches a try.

Now, this is extremely important, if you let your tendon pain continue for a long period of time it can evolve into achilles tendonitis as the tendon becomes short. You’ll notice a tender feeling in the back of your ankle (in your achilles). That’s why it’s crucial to pinpoint the pain as soon as possible and start treating it immediately. If you delay treatment, it can affect other areas of your body as it’s all connected.

In 92% of people, research has proven that the origin of your calf pain is not the muscle or bone…it’s your neurology or nervous system. In this specific case, we’re dealing with the tibial which is a single nerve group, also known as mononeuropathy.

The neurophysiologies, or wires are not able to supply power to the calf. They get repeatedly squeezed over the nerve but there’s not enough blood supply flowing through these narrow passages ways to the calf. Therefore creating that squeezing sensation many of you are experiencing and preventing you from doing what you love.

The good news is, The Pain Free Maverick understands the body on a complex level and the different techniques, treatments and exercises needed to eliminate pain. So, here are some of the neurological resets you can try on your own.

Keep your heel on the ground and mobilize your foot.

You should start to feel the release and mobilize the nerves to create symmetry and balance.
