Heel Raise – Seated

Instructions

• Sit on a sturdy chair or bench with your knees bent at approximately 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
• Place a weight on each thigh, just above the knees. Use your hands to stabilise the weights.
• Press through the balls of your feet and lift your heels off the ground as high as possible, keeping the weights balanced on your thighs.
• Slowly lower your heels back to the floor in a controlled manner, ensuring the weights don’t shift.
• Repeat until you’ve completed the repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
