Physiotherapy for calf pain



An initial assessment with one of our specialised physiotherapists at Manchester Physio will diagnose the cause of your calf pain and develop a treatment plan suited to this.

Physiotherapy treatment at Manchester Physio will depend on your current symptoms, and the underlying cause of your calf pain but may include:
  • Ice therapy to reduce swelling
  • Ultrasound to promote healing
  • Deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy to relieve muscle tension and stiffness
  • Acupuncture
  • Passive stretching
  • Calf strengthening exercises once pain has settled to get you back to your sporting activities as soon as possible.
  • Hands on treatment such as manipulation or mobilisation is often administered in conjunction with an exercise program to relieve pain and stiffness
  • Advice about orthotics to correct your foot posture
At Manchester Physio, physiotherapy treatment will not only alleviate your calf pain but prevent future reoccurrence.
