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 your hands on your thighs for balance.
• Press through the balls of your feet and lift your heels off the ground as high as possible, feeling the contraction in your calves.
• Slowly lower your heels back down to the floor, controlling the movement throughout.
• Repeat until you’ve completed the repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
