How do you get your heel stretch quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't...: Stretches are meant to elongate the muscles. You don't want to stretch too quickly because you can risk creating more of an injury. As you regularly stretch, you will feel more flexible and it will be "quicker" to get going. Treat your stretching like exercise...It's that important!
