All you can really do is to stretch the calf using different exercises and use heel lifts in your shoes (view the spenco heel pads in our shopping section) to reduce tension on the calf.
Do the stretches below 5-6 times a day
1. Wall Pushup #1
Stand about three feet from a wall, feet at shoulder width and flat on the ground. Put your hands on the wall with your arms straight for support. Lean your hips forward and bend your knees slightly to stretch your calves.
2. Wall Pushup #2
From the previous position, bend forward to lower your body to waist height. Bring one foot forward with your knee slightly bent. Lift the toes of the front foot to stretch the muscle under the calf. Stretch both legs.
