Achilles tendonitis, calf, and heel pain can really limit your function and ability to perform a deep squat while exercising or even get into proper position in BJJ such as being on active toes when in an opponent’s guard. This exercise using an eccentric contraction (“negatives”) to not only actively stretch the calf and foot, but to also strengthen the calf muscle in a pain-free way can really be effective.
