As we come out of the isolation period, with return to sport and increased physical activity; and with summer fast approaching after this long layoff period of less activity, it is very important to manage your return to sport and/or everyday life activity.
Should you have a calf soreness or calf injury please consult your preferred Physioworks Health Group clinic for treatment.
