Heel Raise With Toe Extension

Description

Stand up, place a rolled towel under the toes of both feet to elevate the forefoot. Keep both knees fully extended without bending them, then push into the forefoot to raise the heels as high as possible. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower back down until the heels rest on the ground. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your physical therapist (you can hold onto a support for balance).
