Heel to Toe Rocker
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin this exercise standing with both feet comfortably underneath your hips. From here, rock forward pushing up on your toes into a heel raise. From this position, return to having both feet resting comfortably on the ground and then rock your weight back pulling your toes up towards the ceiling as you rock your weight back onto your heels.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in the front of your shins and your calf muscles working as you rock your weight back and forth.
- COMPENSATION: Avoid having the motion come from the hips, isolate the motion to just come from the ankles and stay upright as you perform this exercise.
