Everest Therapeutics demonstrates proper stretch of your solias muscle, which is a muscle deep in the calf. Position yourself against a wall, using your hands for support. Both knees are slightly bent, with one leg in front of the other. The leg being stretched is the back leg. Keep your heel on the ground, and a light bend in the knee. This will produce a stretch solely in the solias. To increase the stretch sensation, bring your front knee closer to the wall, if needed. Keep the sensation of the stretch, mild to moderate. Hold this position for a minimum of 30 seconds, to a maximum of 90 seconds. This will produce an effective lengthening of the solias muscle. Be sure to stretch both legs.

To stretch your gastrocnemius calf muscle, place your foot against the wall. Use your hands for support. Your opposite leg can be slightly bent. Imagine a nice straight line through the leg being stretched. This will produce an even tension and stretch, through your leg. This stretch sensation should be light to moderate. Breathe and relax into this, and hold for 45 to 90 seconds. You should now feel a nice release through your gastrocnemius calf muscle.

Triceps surae muscle
The triceps surae (from Latin caput and sura. "three-headed calf [muscle]") is a pair of muscles located at the calf - the gastrocnemius and the soleus. These muscles both insert into the calcaneus, the bone of the heel of the human foot, and form the major part of the muscle of the back part of the lower leg, commonly known as the calf muscle.
Origins and insertion
The triceps surae is connected to the foot through the Achilles tendon, and has 3 heads deriving from the 2 major masses of muscle.
The triceps surae is innervated by the tibial nerve, specifically, nerve roots L5–S2.
Function
Contraction of the triceps surae induce plantar flexion and stabilization of the ankle complex in the transverse plane. Functional activities include primarily movement in the sagittal plane, stabilization during locomotion (walking, running) and power jumping.
Calf strain (torn calf muscle)
A torn calf muscle happens when the calf muscle is pulled apart from the Achilles tendon. Severe pain is felt by the victim and is often but not always accompanied by a "pop."This injury happens during acceleration or changes in direction. The torn calf muscle may spasm, and contract forcefully. The toes may also point down (Foot drop). Bruises can show up in the leg, foot and ankle due to pooling of blood from internal bleeding. It may take some time for the bruises to occur, from hours to days depending upon where the tear occurred. The circumference of the leg will most certainly increase.
This injury may take several months to heal. It is important not to continue the exercise if muscle is torn, as internal bleeding is taking place. See a doctor immediately after the muscle is torn to begin rehabilitation.
