What Causes Calf Strains?

Calf strains usually happen when the muscles in the back of the lower leg become overused. This can be due to one specific incident or several repetitions overtime. Calf strains are common in running and jumping sports. It is important to address calf strains as they can lead to more serious Achilles tendon issues.

Running mechanics can also play a role in calf strains. Typically, runners who strike on their forefoot can have a greater chance of developing a calf strain. Ankle joint mechanics can also play a role in developing calf strains.

The physical therapists at Pro Staff are experts when it comes to treating any muscle strain and will help you return to running. No matter how long or how severe the strain is, we believe in treating each individual patient for their unique and personal goals. We understand how frustrating it is to not have the body move the way we want it to, and we want to improve those limitations with you.

Common Symptoms of Calf Strains

• Stiffness and decreased motion through the ankle.
• Pain in the back of the lower leg in either the gastrocnemius or soleus muscle.
• Decreased strength in the involved leg.
• Difficulty running and jumping.
• Decreased muscle length in the calf.

Our goal is to work on all the limitations in your running form and create a plan of care to address these limitations. We have a great team that specializes in specific hands-on care to work on improving both the ankle and calf.
