what is the calf stretcher?
The Calf Stretcher is an ergonomic tool designed to effectively stretch your calf muscles. It has an angled,
curved shape into which you place your foot, allowing you to experience a deep, controlled and safe stretch
– ideal for athletes, people with heel spurs or for general everyday use to promote flexibility.
