A Better Way to 'Stretch' Your Calves
In this article, you will learn a systematic way to stretch your calves.
Static stretching has a time and a place, but there is more to increasing ankle range of motion and stretching than just holding a stretch.
By combining the best tools from different areas, we are better able to stretch and keep our range of motion.
The main components we will be using are: foam rolling, ankle joint mobility, dorsiflexion loading, squatting to change the pattern.

Learn to Load your Ankle Dorsiflexion
The drill shown in that video is a good way to get a temporary increase in your ankle range. A temporary increase.
Most mobility drills give you a temporary increase and not a permanent increase.
That means that a piece of the puzzling is missing.
Banded Ankle Joint Mobilization
The ankle joint for many people is pretty stiff and could use a bit more motion. I am not a huge proponent of banded joint mobilizations or self joint mobilizations with external loading, BUT the ankle is a joint where I think the benefits are large and the risks are very minimal (aggressive banded mobilizations of the shoulder may not be so good for everyone, for example).
Self Ankle Mobilization
To improve ankle range of motion, there are typically four methods:
1. Stretch your calf muscles
2. Mobilize the ankle joint
3. Work on eccentrics
4. Change the way you move through intentional practice
In this article, we specifically look at number 2, mobilization of the ankle joint. The technique shown in this video is one you can do yourself with your own hands.
