    182. I've torn my calf...now what?


    Last week I tore my calf and so I thought I'd take you through the physio's guide to identifying and rehabbing a calf tear. The to-dos and not-to-dos which you can try out yourself.

    This ep covers;

    - calf anatomy and role in running

    - risk factors for calf tears; types of movements and sports

    - isometrics, strengthening and stretching guide

    - plyos and return to run

    - prevention and advice to the non-injured runner
