You need to loosen up your muscles after working out. If you don't they will become tight and can cause discomfort, immobility, and injury. You after care is just as important as the workout itself.
Look up different stretches for your legs, back, hips, and glutes. Youtube should help.
Rolling is another method to loosen your muscles and get really hard to reach knots. Look for products like these:

A tennis ball and/ or a lacrosse ball are also good things you can use to roll your glutes and feet.
Getting a semi-regular deep tissue massage is also a good idea.
Do you sleep with your feet at a 90' angle? A foot brace will hold your foot in the right position at night and will actually help that. They're like $30 so just buy one and alternate nights. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GYHEZNG/
Second foam rolling. I also have a Stick (plastic with little rollers on it) that I use on calves. Don't roll the shins with it. It helps me immensely.

I have used a stick before, but one with rollers like this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Stick-Original-Massage/dp/B000YDO1NA
In my experience, the stick doesn't work nearly as well as a foam roller. For what it's worth, this the foam roller I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040EGNIU
The reason I like the roller more is because I can put a lot more weight on the area I am massaging with a foam roller. I feel like I am getting a deeper massage that way.
The stick is very nice for travel, though.
