Calf injury Cycling Supports
Calf Supports
Calf muscles work hard during cycling, and injuries to this part of your body can be painful. Soft tissue injuries, including strained or pulled calf muscles, are common cycling injuries. Cycling can cause muscles to completely or partially rapture, resulting in severe, sharp, burning, or sudden calf pain. Sometimes, a muscular tear may also be possible. Overuse and too much training too quickly can cause cycling calf injuries. It is important to stop cycling and avoid putting extra load on your legs if you incur injuries. Consult your GP to diagnose the symptoms to prevent chronic injuries.

If you suffer from completely torn calf muscles, your GP may suggest surgery. Depending on the severity of the injury, the injured calf muscles or ligaments could keep you off your cycle for up to six weeks. To avoid injuring your muscles while cycling, do gentle warm-up exercises before you begin.
Cooldown your body for 15 – 20 minutes with some calf muscle stretches after cycling at the end of a cycling session. Massaging will help if you feel stiffness or stress. Regular exercise and sufficient rest allow your muscles to perform well during cycling.
Wearing protective gear, such as calf braces or sleeves, help support your calves during cycling. They help reduce or eliminate the pain caused by repetitive cycling movement and minimize the risks of further injuries. At 360 relief, you can find the best calf braces to have a safe cycling experience.
