Plantar Flexion Strengthening

Description

You are standing, the front of the foot to be worked is placed on a folded towel (or another object) to increase the angulation of the ankle, while the heel is on the ground and the other foot is held 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 tip of your toes and then slowly return to the starting position.
