[QUOTE="ryankdx12, post: 1217296, member: 78791"] Have you already been doing "lifts" (calf raises) with your body weight? ie. Standing on one foot, rolling onto your ball of foot, and lifting your body weight? One set with leg more or less straight, one set with knee slightly bent. (You'll need to hold on for that one.) There is also a reverse lift which is more for the front muscles along the shin, which is undoubtedly atrophied as well. It will gain you a lot of benefit at the lower reaches of the gastrocnemius. For this exercise you lean against a wall with just your shoulder blades supporting you, hips about a foot or two away from the wall, weight on your heals. Lift your toes/balls of the feet upward. Flexibility exercises will be important as well: yoga type moves (warrior pose/static lunges are one example). Once you can do all of that: [url]http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/search.asp?muscle=Gastrocnemius[/url] Didn't you get referred to physical therapy? Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
