1. Calf Stretch
Stand and place one foot against the wall. Place the other leg behind with your heel on the ground, foot parallel to the front one and knee straight. Keep the torso upright and push the hips forward to feel a stretch in the calf. Hold 20sec, repeat 3 times per side, 1-2x/day, each side
2. Stretching Soleus
Stand and place both hands on a wall, with your feet about half a meter from the wall. Place one leg behind the other, heel down and slowly bend the knees while keeping heels on the floor until you feel a stretch in the calf of the back leg. Check your heel position, it should be in line with your toes, not turned inwards or outwards. Maintain the stretch and relax. Hold 20sec, repeat 3 times per side, 1-2x/day, each side
