Bipodal Soleus Strengthening

Description

Use a fixed support such as a desk, counter, chair, or door frame to maintain balance, holding both hands at waist height. Lower into a squat position while keeping a correct posture, with feet shoulder-width apart. Rise onto your tiptoes until your calves are fully contracted, making sure to keep your feet in a neutral position. Slowly lower until your heels touch the floor, keeping the body's movement as a single unit rather than compensating with the knees and hips. Repeat the exercise as directed by your physical therapist.
