- Position yourself in a lunge stance facing a wall or stable surface for support.
- Place a rolled-up towel lengthwise under the toes of your back foot, allowing the toes to extend back and elevate.
- Keep the heel of the back foot grounded and ensure your weight is evenly distributed.
- Shift forward into the lunge, directing the bend through the ankle rather than lifting the heel.
- You should feel the stretch move lower in the calf and maintain tension through the plantar fascia.
- Hold/maintain as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
