Seated Isometric Plantar Flexion Strengthening

Description

Sit comfortably and place one leg over the other. The leg you have crossed is the one on which the exercise will be performed. Keep your foot and ankle of this leg in a neutral position, and make the effort to push your foot inward with your hand, while resisting this movement so your foot does not actually move. The resistance you exert with your foot against the pressure of your hand is symbolized by a red arrow.
