Ask a PT Response:"That is pretty odd to have pulled both calf muscles at the same time. Some questions to ask as to what may have contributed to your injuries could be: were you well hydrated, did you have new shoes, new playing surface, perform any out of the normal activity prior or the day before, etc? With any strain (pull) it is best to avoid activities which may exacerbate the condition. Usually lower level activities (activities which don't increase pain) are performed by the patient in therapy while working on range of motion, strength, and functional training. Manual therapy and modalities may be performed as well as part of the plan of care. If you continue to experience problems, it would probably be best if you see a PT. Best of luck to you."
