Lie on your back on the Reformer with your head supported and spine in neutral.
Place the ball of the working foot on the foot bar, heel lifted, with the non-working leg either in tabletop, extended to the ceiling, or resting on the carriage for support (as prescribed).
Keep the working leg aligned—knee, ankle, and toes in one line.
Engage your core to keep the pelvis stable and avoid shifting weight.
Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, press through the ball of the foot to lift the heel, rising into a controlled calf raise.
Inhale to slowly lower the heel, either to level with the foot bar or just below for a mild stretch.
Avoid bouncing—maintain smooth, controlled movement throughout.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
