Description

Stand close to a wall. Place both hands on the wall to stabilize your balance. Keep your knees straight. Start by transferring your body weight onto your uninjured leg, then lift up onto the ball of the foot on that same leg. Next, shift your weight onto the leg you wish to strengthen, keeping the knees straight. Slowly lower back down onto the whole foot. Repeat this exercise several times, ensuring a controlled and smooth movement throughout.
