Standing Calf Raises for Calf Strain - Welsh Athletics Injury Exercises Series

Calf strains are a common sports injury that occur when the muscles are overloaded or overstretched resulting in a tear.

Maintaining strong calves could help you avoid injuries; prevention is better than cure. Exercises like single leg standing or seated calf raises are useful for this.

This video with Welsh Athletics Lead Performance Physiotherapist, Adam Rattenberry, focuses on an example of standing calf raises. A video of seated calf raises can be found here: Seated Calf Raises for Calf Strain

All the videos from our Welsh Athletics Injury Exercises Series can be found here: Recovery Video Guides

Please bear in mind that this video intended as a demonstration. If you have an injury or niggle, you should always seek advice from a medical professional to address it or discuss options for injury prevention.
