No worries Harvey!

It sounds very much from your notes that your soleus is shortened. It is easy to lengthen, warm it before stretching and try this:


Keep your heels on the ground and try it bare footed as often as you can. Let me know how you get on.

I know the discomfort is not in the soleus but it sounds like compensation.

It is hard to say Harvey. The cause could be technical, mechanical, soft tissue or skeletal; I would need to see you to know for sure. However, a thorough dynamic warm up will help, as will this thread: http://www.bigcricket.com/community/threads/stretches-for-flexibilty-legs.26102/

Dear Liz,

after doing the exercise what you suggested, it feels better. while stretching, i could feel the pain being pulled on that muscle. Thanks so much. I really nly wonder what can i do to stop this pain from happening again in the future.

Regards
