7. Calf Muscle Release Strategy
High heel wear greatly affects the calf muscles; they often get shortened and stiff.Warm the tissue starting with long, sweeping strokes from the ankle to the knee.Then, working along the length of the calf muscle, use your palms and fingers to kneading motions, especially noting any knots or tight areas you come across.On especially tight places, use cross-fiber friction techniques to aid release adhesions.Change your pressure and angle of approach to work on the deeper soleus muscle as well as the surface gastrocnemius muscle.This all-encompassing calf massage helps avoid the muscle shortening often brought on by frequent heel wear.
