    This document discusses stretching specific muscles in the feet and calves. It provides a table that lists the muscles involved in various movements of the calves, ankles, and feet. To stretch a particular muscle, the stretch should involve movements in the opposite direction of that muscle's movements. For example, to stretch the flexor digitorum longus, movements involving dorsiflexion, eversion of the ankle, and toe extension should be performed. The level of complexity of simultaneous opposite movements can start simply and increase as the muscle becomes loose.

    STRETCHING ANATOMY

    Foot and Calf Muscle Movements


    The stretches in this chapter are excellent overall stretches; however, not all of these stretches may be completely suited to each persons needs. The muscles involved in the various calf, ankle, and foot movements appear in the following table. To stretch specic muscles, the stretch must involve one or more movements in the opposite direction of the desired muscles movements. For example, if you want to stretch the left exor digitorum longus, you could perform a movement that involves dorsiexion and eversion of the left ankle and toe extension of the left foot. When a muscle has a high level of stiffness, you should use fewer simultaneous opposite movements (for example, to stretch a very tight exor digitorum longus, you could start by doing only toe extension). As a muscle becomes loose, you can incorporate more simultaneous opposite movements.
