- 14 years ago
Watch the standing heel-back Achilles stretch video to improve your Achilles flexibility and relieve tight Achilles and calf muscles.
How to do the Standing Heel-back Achilles Stretch: Stand upright and take one big step backwards. Bend your back leg and push your heel towards the ground. Make sure the toes of your back leg are facing forward. Letting your toes point to one side will cause this stretch to put uneven tension on the calf muscles. Over an extended period of time, this could lead to a muscle imbalance. Regulate the intensity of this stretch by lowering your body. Hold the stretch position for a minimum of 20 seconds and then repeat with the opposite leg.
