mobility video "tight calves"

If you have pain in a joint like say, your knee. A good place to start mobilizing is right above and below the knee. Say what? Yes, your calf actually crosses your ankle AND your knee. And as such it can cause knee dysfunction. Knee Pain? Start with your calves for example.

Tight calves:

1) Can cause knee pain

2) Limit your movement options in the bottom of movements like the split jerk  and the squat.

3) Can be one of the causes of a heel cord rupture.

4) Really make running POSE, feel not cool. And running should feel cool.

Test: Butt to ankle squat

Mobilize it-don't criticize it: 4 min each foot. Time it. Don't eyeball.

Re-Test: Is your knee pain better? Try your squat again.
