Question for those who know physio stuff. I started playing tennis again, usually late at night after shooting. Or on weekends. Last time I got into this, about 10 years ago, I blew out my calf muscle while serving. SO: what precautions can I take on calf/achillies? What stretch?
Foam roller is a must. Calves can be brutal as we all get older. Notoriously tight. Gotta foam roll for at least 10-15 mins every time. You can usually use a tennis ball as well if necessary.

I pulled mine last year... twice! I’ve been stretching more beforehand. So far so good. Im w/ James on the foam rolling.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

B&J, years ago I studied privately w/Dr. Judy Alter, UCLA. Saved me from knee surgeries, then I taught her work to injured athletes/trainers/coaches of all sports for decades! Strongly recommend her books to learn MOST effective, noninjurious, proven stretch/strengthen methods:

Strongly recommend her 2 books ASAP:
Start with 1st small EASY guide— what not to do & why!:
“Surviving exercise: Judy Alter's safe and sane exercise program”:

Then brilliant detailed 2nd book:
“Stretch and Strengthen”:
