    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.

    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.

    This was one of the better videos I found. I guess how to prevent a calf injury returning, is to to incorporate at least some of these routines into your regular routines, warm up and warm down.

    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.

  • @ahhhhmanduh
    @ahhhhmanduh ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Holy shit, thank you so much. I had a strain 4 weeks ago. My doctor won't refer me to a PT until I have an ultrasound, but I can't get one for 2.5 months. It'll be healed by then and I need safe stretches/excerises to strengthen things as I heal.

    Awesome summary of a calf strain injury. You nailed the reason my injury happened. I am a 63 year old male who just recently started playing pickleball. The strain occurred playing pickleball, the tear or rupture occurred the next day on hilly trail hike going up a steep hill. My calf strain, after 3 weeks, has started to improve, and I began to question when could I return to playing Pickleball. Your tests tell me I am still a long way from returning. Thank you for showing me that! I will now begin your rehab exercises. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated. I did just subscribed to your channel and I plan on sharing your channel

    I've been doing PT for six weeks following a gastroc/soleus injury. It's been going as expected, and I was just thinking "two more weeks and I'll be back." Then, when I saw this video, I realized that, at the very best, I am still on Step One of this rehsp program! . Holy crap! Based on what I see here, it'll be a whole gd YEAR before I'm at his "Level 4" point in rehab! That is just so discouraging to me.
