Split Stance Soleus Raise

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Start in a split stance position with one foot forward and the other foot behind you with your toes pushing into the ground. Load most of your weight into the front leg. From this position, lift your heels up. Make sure to lift your entire body up as your heels come up. Return to the starting position and repeat. 
  • FEEL: You should feel your calf muscles working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Keep your back straight up, don’t slouch forward. Keep a bend in both knees as you perform a heel raise, don’t straighten your knee.
