    mysterious calf muscle

    i went to a physciotherapist today and he diagnosed me with somethink about my calf which caused my backpain

    he spoke about the mechanics of my body caused my back not stretch so much when i tried to stretch my back backwards so he told me to do some stretches but one stretch i tried and was stumbled by what occured

    click on this link please:

    Racewalk.com - Calf Stretches (Page 1 of 4)

    the only difference from the picture is that both of my legs are at the same distant position also when i do this the right calf is stretching more and there is a stronger pull is this meant to happen?

    I believe this is the link:
    Racewalk.com - Calf Stretches (Page 1 of 4)

    And you describe yourself as having both your feet back away from the wall?

    And you have stated that in this position your Right Calf heel is higher off the ground, and you 'feel' a greater stretch as the muscle is shorter than on the left? Is that correct?

    Just to make thing easier, if you could perhaps answer the above, and provide more information about your situation? It does appear as if there is a muscle length difference based on what you have mentioned.

    1) yup both feet are an equal distance from the wall
    2)and there is a stronger stretch in my right calf is this a major problem?

    I'm not sure what the problem is, are you a runner trying to get back to running? Is there pain there? Was this the result of a previous injury?
