This Goodlife That’s so weird that your calf muscles cramped like this out of the blue. I’m so glad to hear that the exercises helped reduce your symptoms. You might consider performing these three exercises a couple of times per week to help reduce the odds that the cramping returns.

This Goodlife That’s so great to hear! You could also add a calf stretch as well. That stretch can be found in the plantar fasciitis and shin splints programs. It is in phase one and involves the use of a wedge.

This Goodlife No problem! Please keep me updated on whether or your symptoms improve.

This Goodlife besides the calf raise, I would also implement the calf mobilization with the foam roller in the Achilles program. It’s the first exercise in phase one.

That’s not an issue on your end. It’s a setting I need to change with that video. Here is a workaround. If you go the achilles rehab program, you should be able to watch the video if you access it from that program. Here is a link. Let me know if this doesn’t work.

Thank you so much for being here and introducing yourself! Also, thank you for buying a copy of my book. Please let me know if you ever have any questions about the programs in the app. I’ll be hosting a live session every Wednesday at 9 AM PST as well, if you ever want to jump in and chat with me.

I agree! I’m so excited about the community that is forming here!

I would love to have you join the live sessions if you are able to! I know it can be challenging with time zone differences. I plan to hold them every Wednesday at the same time (9am PST) unless that time turns out not to be a good option for most people.

Thanks for joining this morning, Doug! Here is a link to the hip flexor pain program I was mentioning. I would recommend starting with the phase 1 exercises for the next couple of weeks. Keep me updated on how your symptoms respond.

Hey buddy! I can’t believe that incision is still bothering you. I would try the median and ulnar nerve mobilizations in this video and see if they reduce your symptoms at all.
