Description

Sit down with a weight placed on the knee of the working leg and the ball of your foot resting on a raised surface. Lift your heel and rise onto your toes, then slowly lower yourself back down, allowing your heel to drop below the surface level to use the full range of motion. Perform the movement in a controlled manner, following the pace recommended by your physical therapist.
