15 Nov Experiencing calf muscle tightness so bad that often you wake up with cramps in your calf muscles and extreme pain

Wondering you can’t seem to get rid of the calf muscle tightness and calf pain despite trying “everything”

If you answered yes to the above statements, you aren’t alone. Here are 3 Common Mistakes that people make when it comes to their calf muscle tightness and calf pain:
1. They think that they lack of calcium or magnesium. So they take calcium or magnesium tablets but still have persisting calf muscle tightness and calf pain.
2. They think they are not exercising enough. So they go out and run or walk more, except that they end up with more calf muscle tightness and pain because they are overworking their calf muscles even more.
3. They think that it’s just part of growing old, so they accept that calf muscle tightness and pain is just part of life and try to accommodate it by reducing their activity levels.

In reality, calf muscle tightness and calf pain is a result of a combination of type of footwear, type of activity and activity level during the day. Calf muscle tightness and pain including cramps at night is often due to overworked calf muscles, wearing heavy footwear like steel capped shoes and the lack of regular stretching.
