Wooden calf stretcher & balance wedge – for squats & ankles

Sometimes it's a small detail that makes all the difference. The calf stretcher – also known as a balance wedge – made from alder wood is fully manufactured in Freiburg from sustainable Black Forest alder wood and solves three common problems at once: It stretches the calf muscles and Achilles tendon, improves squat depth by elevating the heels, and trains the ankle joint through targeted instability in the longitudinal and transverse axes. Especially those who sit a lot, wear tight shoes, or struggle with foot misalignments will notice how much tension is in the posterior muscle chain alone – and how quickly this can be changed through regular use. The non-slip surface on top and the cork surface on the bottom ensure a secure grip.

Here's how you can use the calf stretcher:

• Calf stretch:Forefoot on the wedge, heel on the floor – regular stretching of the Achilles tendon and calf muscles
• Heel elevation during squats:Deeper squats, learning hip-dominant movement patterns – ideal for beginners and for deadlifts
• Ankle stabilization:With selectable strips in longitudinal or transverse axis – single-leg or double-leg, also with additional load
• Mobilization:Activate joints, improve mobility in the foot area

Note: With wedge 1 (10°), knots may be present in the wood – this does not affect function or longevity.

You will receive:

2, 4 or 6 calf stretchers – depending on the selected variant
