A calf tear from sudden, fast movement.
Gastrocnemius, or calf muscle, strains are commonly caused by running fast. The injury typically causes tenderness or a visible bulge, most often on the inner portion of the calf.
Walking, climbing stairs, or raising the heel off the ground on the affected side can all make the pain worse.
A staged return from pain control to full sprinting.
Treatment progresses through reducing pain and swelling, then rebuilding flexibility and strength, before returning to running and other demanding activity.
