good to know about muscles

My calves are extreamly sore, to the point where it's hard to walk. All thanks to Instructor Trainning this weekend. I asked my friend who's in school to become a physical therapist what I could do for my claves here is her recomendation:

Use a heat pad for 20 mins, then massage the calves in the direction of the heart.

I asked why in the direction of the muscle. She said because there are vains in your calves that could be damanaged when you massage away from the heart. so pretty much when messaging any muscles massage towards the heart. Good to know thought I would pass it along.
