Hurt Calf, ways to relieve?

Jessica_D_Shadow

Hello! I was doing my Daily Dose of 30DS & during a Jumping Jack my ankle twisted a little funny but I was able to catch it. But, I'm pretty sure I F'ed up my calf doing so. The medial part of my left calf is pretty sore. Not pain, just pretty sore. Any suggestions to relieve this strain?

if you just did it - ice it immediately - 15 on 15 off - to reduce swelling.

COMPRESSION wrap usually helps me. Ibuprophen for pain.

If you can find a roller to roll in out, that may help tremendously. I use the grid, but you can find one at any local sporting goods store/ running store.

THere are also some do-it-yourself calf massage videos on YouTube which helped me out tremendously when I hurt My calves. Hope they feel better soon!
