Torn calf muscle treatment

Leg pain? Here are easy, soothing moves to loosen up your calves.

A hamstring strain injury occurs when 1 or more of the 3 hamstring muscles or tendons (at the back of the thigh) is torn, either partially or completely.

The Achilles tendon is one of the longer tendons in your body, stretching from the bones of your heel to your calf muscles. It allows you to extend your foot and point your toes to the floor.

How long has it been since you began adding that imaginary inch when somebody asked? Calves are an important body part and should be trained with as much diligence as any other. The calves are responsible for a great many things of which you may not be aware: They help to protect the knee from injury and the gastroc (short for gastrocnemius the larger of the two calf muscles) is heavily involved in knee flexion so stronger calves may result in stronger hamstrings.
