HEEL PROP
Rest your heel on a rolled up towel, making sure that your calf is raised off the bed. Then lie down and relax.
- The knee will hang under its own weight, stretching the muscles on the back of the knee.
- This may be uncomfortable at first, so start off with 2-3 minutes and aim to gradually increase to 10mins.
- To stretch further, every few minutes, gently contract the muscles on the front of the knee, pushing the back of the knee towards the bed.
Start with 2-3 minutes aiming to build to 10 minutes, 2 times a day.
