  • Lie on your back on the Reformer with your head supported and spine in neutral.
  • Place the balls of both feet (toes) on the foot bar, with heels lifted and feet hip-width apart.
  • Maintain a soft bend in both knees throughout the exercise (avoid full extension).
  • Keep your pelvis steady and engage your core gently.
  • Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, press through the balls of your feet to lift the heels further, rising onto the toes in a slow and controlled motion.
  • Inhale to lower the heels slowly back to the start position, stopping just before the heels drop below the bar.
  • Focus on moving only at the ankle joint—keep knees bent and stable throughout.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
