I get calf pain as well and have tried all sorts of PT, dry needling, among other things – less cramping and more sustained pain. I have found that rolling with a baseball/lacrosse ball is easier to target than a foam roller. Also, I believe it has to do with my ankle’s limited movement and general posterior chain tightness and weakness. Laying flat on my back, with a resistance band around my foot, one leg raised straight, the other on the ground really helps with this. And if you push though your heel, you get more calf activation.
