Imagine the calf as two equal halves. It is the part that is closest to the heel or closest to the foot and the part that is farthest is the back calf. The front calf is also in the location of the soleus muscle. Apart from maintaining balance when our heel touches the ground, it also improves blood circulation if it is a muscle.

Well, turn the toes outward. To massage the calves from the outside, if it seems that your lat muscle group is very thick and strong, then you should look for other problems such as flat feet, hyperextension of the knees, and anterior pelvic tilt, because this causes stress in the calves, which leads to increased thickness.
