-How to Use the Massage Gun on the Calf-
The calves can get tight without you realising. As the calf muscles wrap around the lower leg, using the traditional calf stretches generally targets the muscles directly at the back but are less effective at targeting muscle around the sides. The massage gun helps solve this problem and can be quite specific with the areas you can get into. Try it and let us know how you get on.
Remember to listen to your body. If you keep getting the same pain or niggle that doesn't go away, please get it checked out by a healthcare professional.

Hi, sorry to hear your calf gets tighter with the massage gun - it may be that the speed setting on the gun is too fast and perhaps there's too much pressure on the calf, which is causing it to feel tight. Try a slower speed setting and for a short amount of time to see if that helps.
