Calf raises, Wall Squats, lunges, squats, leg lifts etc.
**** me, im still sore. Those calf raises have my calves so sore that im walking funny. For days now....
I did 3 sets of 50 in 3 different toe directions. So what, 450 raises in total? Normal forward facing toes, pigeon toed and outward. I varied the speed too.

I did a similar thing for plantar fasciitis recovery. They ****ing suck! What helps is do calf stretches against the wall in the straight/toe in/toe out then thigh on the wall/ foot flat on the floor extreme stretch. I do a minute each way.
