Exercise Benefits

The calf muscle is actually a group of muscles that sit on the back of the lower leg. These muscles are responsible for pulling the heel up, allowing forward movement, and for stabilizing your ankles and feet. Stretching your calves can really help reduce strains and improve flexibility and stability.
