Isometric Plantar Flexor Strengthening on Step

Description

You are standing with the balls of your feet on a step (or a stair), while the heels are in the air. Your body weight is placed backwards, at the heel, so that the foot is in a dorsiflexion position, which may cause a sensation of calf stretching. You will perform an ankle extension by rising onto the balls of your feet and hold the position. You then return to the starting position.
