Heel and calf stretch

This stretch helps reduce tension in the calf muscle.

To do this stretch (chiro near me):

1. Stand facing a wall.
2. Place your hands on the wall and move one foot back as far as you can comfortably. Toes on both feet should be facing forward, heels flat, with a slight bend in your knees.
3. Lean into the stretch and hold for 30 seconds. You should feel the stretch in your back leg.
4. Change legs and repeat.
5. Do this stretch twice for both legs.

Hamstring stretch

1. Lie down on the floor or mat and straighten both legs. Or, if it’s more comfortable, you can bend both knees with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Lift one leg off the floor (best chiro toronto).
3. Place your hands behind your thigh, but below the knee, and gently pull your knee toward your chest until you feel a slight stretch. This shouldn’t be painful.
4. Hold for 30 seconds (neck pain chiro toronto).
