Calf/traction stretch supports ankle mobility

by Philoy O'Neil Williams
Calf/traction is performed correctly to prevent injuries.

As a golfer, the swing starts at your feet.

The calf muscle is in the back of your lower leg, behind your shin bone. It actually includes three muscles. Together, the muscles help you walk, run, jump, stand on your toes and flex your foot (lifting toes up/downward). Calf muscles are used to propel forward when walking or running. They absorb the impact  of every step, providing needed support for the whole body. By increasing your calf strength you will:

  • Become faster.
  • Be able to run for longer.
  • Keep a more consistent pace while running.
  • Be able to jump higher.

This traction stretch (above) supports ankle mobility which is crucial for optimal golfing. The gentle tugging also reduces muscles spasms while preventing possible fractures or dislocations in the bone.

Ankle mobility is enhanced with calf stretches
