Lie on your back on the Reformer with your head supported and spine in a neutral position.
Place the balls of your feet (toes) on the foot bar, hip-width apart.
Keep the heels lifted throughout the exercise—as if you’re wearing heels.
Maintain a slight bend in the knees at both the start and end of the press to bias the soleus.
Gently engage your abdominals and stabilise the pelvis.
Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, press through the balls of your feet to extend the legs, keeping the heels elevated and knees slightly bent at full extension.
Inhale to bend the knees and return the carriage with control, maintaining heel lift and knee alignment.
Focus on smooth, controlled movement, and steady ankle and pelvic positioning.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
