I strained my Gastro last night. I wish I could say I was sprinting away from a bear while holding my newborn in my arms, but I was jumping around with my 3 year old in the living room. I started running for the first time in a while, 3 days before, so I think it was just overworked. Great video. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Pulled my calf bad while playing soccer two months ago, couldn’t walk for the first couple of days. Played on it after 1 months of rest and reinjured it. Thanks for this video, I did not know how to rehab it properly until I watched.

I have to agree with all the comments or most of the comments. What a great video to guide me on my rehab. I tore my calf muscle about a month ago and have yet had the confidence to do any sort of exercise with it. It’s still painful to walk if I move it the wrong way. At least I know there’s a set of criteria to follow to get better. Thanks for posting the video.

Thank you very much for sharing this video. It is incredibly comprehensive and has the potential to benefit numerous individuals in their journey to gradually strengthen their muscles and recover from injuries. I recently began running last year and increased my training volume significantly this year. Unfortunately, due to this sudden increase, I encountered an issue with my left soleus muscle, which prevented me from continuing my running or even hopping on that leg. However, I was still able to hop on both legs without any issues. After more than a month, I have experienced gradual improvement, and I recently completed a 5k run at our local Parkrun. To aid in the strengthening of my calf muscles, particularly the soleus muscle, I have been diligently performing the exercises you outlined. Additionally, I have found that using a foam roller has been beneficial in releasing any knots or tightness in the area.
