Calf and Fibularis (Peroneals) Static Stretching Technique

The Calf and Fibularis (Peroneals) Static Stretching Technique is a great way to lengthen tight calf and peroneal muscles to reduce pain, inflammation and muscle tightness. It is done by first standing upright and gently flexing your foot up while balling it into a fist. Then, gently pull your toes back towards your shins, holding the stretch for at least 15-20 seconds. You can also do the stretch while seated by bending the knee

This is Brent, President of B2C Fitness and

00:00:0300:00:07

we're going to go ahead and describe a calf

00:00:0700:00:10

stretch. Obviously, a muscle that gets very tight in

00:00:1000:00:14

lower leg dysfunction. We have Rick here, to model. Rick is going to take a step

00:00:1400:00:19

forward for me first, so that we can get a little bit of dorsiflexion to happen.

00:00:1900:00:23

Now, since our most common dysfunction for the lower leg is also eversion, we're going

00:00:2300:00:28

to take a couple of steps to make sure he's inverted, which will not only preferentially

00:00:2800:00:32

stretch his lateral gastroc and the fibers of the soleus that get tight in this dysfunction,

00:00:3200:00:35

but also add a little bit of stretch to our peroneals.

00:00:3500:00:37

The two steps we're going to take is I'm going

00:00:3700:00:40

to go ahead and have him take a step sideways. Now, if he takes a step

00:00:4000:00:47

sideways and then leaves his foot planted, this becomes tibia on foot inversion.

00:00:4700:00:53

The other thing I'm going to have him do is make sure that this foot stays a little internally rotated as well.

00:00:5300:00:57

Now, Rick can go as far forward as he needs to to get a stretch.

00:00:5700:01:03

He's then going to squeeze his glute, squeeze his quad locking out his knee, press his heel

00:01:0300:01:07

into the floor, and he should feel a pretty good stretch in the calf.

00:01:0700:01:10

How does that feel?
