	AllCare Network - Common Conditions
		This is often a bruise or a stretching or tearing of muscles that lie in front of the hipbone, or on the inside of the thigh.
		It can be due to a muscle cramp (also known as a charley horse) or an injury, blood clot (deep vein thrombosis), atherosclerosis, inflammation of the leg joints by arthritis, nerve damage, or infection of the bone.
		The condition is often related to overuse of a muscle or to muscle injury due to exercise or physically demanding work.

	Calf Implants and Calf Augmentation Surgery
		Calf implants also known as calf augmentation, is a procedure to increase the size and shape of the calf.
		Calf implants enhance the shape and size of the calf muscles by placing soft, solid silicone implants in pockets overlying the existing gastrocnemius muscles.
		Calf implants can help patients where one calf muscle is thinner or smaller than the other — due to nerve damage — and can help with a more balanced leg appearance.

	[No title]
		Calf augmentation can help correct conditions where the calf muscle is smaller than one on the other leg because of nerve damage.
		Calf augmentation is usually performed on an outpatient basis and usually requires about one hour for the doctor to perform.
		Calf augmentation is a relatively new procedure, but the implants used for the procedure are designed to last for years.

	Calf Injuries (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Calf muscle injuries can happen to runners, walkers and all sorts of ball players, but they are painfully common in racket sports that require a lot of quick starts and stops.
		If your calf muscles are too tight, they can't take the sudden stress, so they strain, they pop, and end up causing you real grief.
		Calf muscle injuries are almost always tears of the juncture between the medial half of the calf muscle (the inner part, technically called the gastrocnemius) and the Achilles' tendon.

	Calf Muscle Strain in Depth - Calf & Shin - Sports Injuries & Physiotherapy Shop
		Usually the Calf muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue becomes torn.
		The function of the Calf muscles is to pull up on the heel bone during the ‘push-off' phase of walking and running.
		The muscle is completely torn and there may be a large lump of muscle tissue above a depression where the tear is. After a few days with grade two and three injuries a large bruise will appear below the injury site caused by the bleeding within the tissues.

	Calf Implants \| Calf Augmentation \| Information About The Procedure \| Before After Photos
		Calf implants (calf augmentation) are a procedure to increase the size and shape of the calf.
		While men typically seek an appearance that emphasizes the bulk of the calf muscle, women usually desire calf implants for purposes of anatomical balance, where the lower leg is sculpted to be more proportionate to the thighs.
		Calf implants can help patients where one calf muscle is thinner or smaller than the other—due to nerve damage—and can help with a more balanced leg appearance.

	Calf Muscle Strain in Brief - Calf & Shin - Sports Injuries & Physiotherapy Shop
		A tear in the Calf muscle is referred to as a Calf strain and depending on its severity it is classified as a first, second or third degree strain.
		With a grade one Calf strain there is a sensation of cramp or tightness, and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted.
		With a grade three Calf strain the patient is unable to move without pain, and there may be a bulge of soft tissue through the muscle layer.

	Calf Exercises - The Key to Great Legs
		The calf muscle — also called the sura — is actually a pair of muscles, the gastorcnemius and the soleus, each of which requires slightly different calf exercises to target.
		The calf muscle is found on the anterior portion of the leg and is connected to the foot via the Achilles tendon.
		Calf Raises: The calf raise is the most common of all calf exercises, due in part to the tremendous variety of forms and practices it allows.

		The Achilles tendon attaches to the Calf Muscle.
		Many calf muscle problems are resolved by use of a heel lift in all shoes and regular stretching.
		Overpronation and other factors damage the Achilles tendon, but a FULLY stretched pair of calf muscles, gastrocnemius and soleus, is your first line of defense against damage to the Achilles tendon, the muscles, or that all important muscle tendon unit.

	Calf Exercises \| Calf Workouts \| Calf Muscle Menu
		The calf can be trained more often than other muscles but keep at least 24-48 hours of rest between heavy training.
		The calf muscle is more commonly known as the calf muscle.
		The most commonly used exercises to train the gastrocnemius muscles are standing calf raises, seated calf raises, and donkey calf raises.

	Calf Muscle Strain (Pulled Calf Muscle - Gastrocnemius Strain)

	Calf Pain \| Pull \| Strain \| Treatment
		A calf strain or pulled calf muscle results when the calf muscle separates from the achilles tendon.
		Many calf injuries occur during acceleration - the calf is flexed when pushing off the toes.
		If the calf is inflexible or overly taxed, it can separated from the achilles causing the pull.

	Ultimate Calf Training
		Calf training requires a different type of intensity, not just more sets, more repetitions, more rest, etc. You have to understand what is involved to capitalize on gains.
		The secret to targeting the different areas of the calf muscle is to angle the pressure by rolling over on your big toe (inversion) or rolling over on your little toes (eversion).
		You can increases the intensity of calf training by holding the contraction at the top position for a count of two, lower to the intermediate position for a count of two and lower until your calf muscle is fully stretched, and repeat.

	Oh, My aching calves
		The primary problem is that the internal pressure of the muscle is so great (due to the tightening/protective mechanism of the body) that new blood, which is vital for reparation and recovery, cannot enter the muscle.
		External pressure, greater than the protective internal muscular pressure, has to be applied to the calf muscles in an effort to relax the muscle and encourage a copious, nutrient-rich blood flow necessary for proper food and oxygen to the muscle.
		This will expedite the repair and relaxation process that will allow the calf muscle to undergo the stresses of running without the residual buildup of waste products, toxins, and tightening that is all part of the normal cycle of muscular use and repair.

	Calf Muscle Contusion
		An impact to the calf muscles can cause more damage than might be expected and should be treated with respect.
		The muscle is crushed against the bone and if not treated correctly or if treated too aggressively then Myositis ossificans may result.
		This means that the initial bleeding may stop early (within hours) because of increased pressure within the muscle however the fluid is unable to escape as the muscle sheath prevents it.

	CALF MUSCLE INJURIES
		The calf or gastosoleus is a pair of muscles—the gastrocnemius and soleus—at the back of the lower human leg.
		The gastrosoleus complex is connected to the foot through the Achilles tendon, and contract to induce plantar flexion and stabilization of the ankle complex in the transverse plane.
		A calf torn muscle happens when the calf muscle is pulled apart from the Achilles tendon.

	PodiatryNetwork.com - Calf Muscle Stretching
		As the calf muscle tightens up it limits the movement of the ankle joint.
		Calf muscle stretching is very useful in the treatment of many foot disorders and for the prevention of foot problems.
		The stretch should be felt in the body of the muscle not in the Achilles tendon or the back of the knee.

	ActivaHosiery.com - Leg Health
		Venous blood flow in the legs is aided by 3 important factors: (1) a series of one-directional valves, (2) the surrounding calf muscle pump, and (3) the elasticity of the vein wall.
		Muscles surrounding the vein contract and squeeze in a peristaltic fashion which causes blood to be forced up the leg.
		It is the vein wall's elasticity that allows the calf muscle pump to create the peristaltic contractions.

		Adding quality muscle mass can be a challenge if you happen to be a “hard gainer.” Check out these tools to help in your quest.
		A recent study looked at the muscle protein synthesis response of the soleus muscle following a standard high intensity bout of resistance exercise (the soleus makes up the deeper portion of the calf muscles). The upside-down heart-shape on the calf is actually the gastrocnemius muscle (gastro for short).
		They found that muscle protein synthesis was increased in the soleus; but compared to similar studies done on the quads (specifically the vastus lateralis muscle), the quads respond 200 percent better than the soleus.
