Single-Leg Heel Raise With Toe Extension

Description

Stand up, place a rolled towel under the toes of the working foot and lift the other leg (or keep a light support for balance). Fully extend the knee of the supporting leg and keep it straight throughout. Push on the forefoot to raise the heel as high as possible without bending the knee, pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower back down to rest the heel. Repeat the number of times indicated by your physical therapist.
