[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 2754351, member: 2469"] You've probably figured this out, most people don't realize that there are different stretches for the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. It's actually possible to over stretch while doing static stretching; you don't want to statically stretch the muscle beyond where you initially begin to feel the stretch, more is not better. My thinking is that its better to increase flexiblity and strengthen the soft tissue, rather than rely on insoles or orthotics to create support because of weak calf and foot muscles. [/QUOTE]
