Soleus Muscle Stretch
Technique:
- To stretch the soleus muscle, the back leg should be bent
- Place the leg to be stretched behind and lean against a wall keeping the heel down
- A stretch should be felt lower down nearer the ankle at the back of the leg
- If this stretch is not felt then a more advanced version is to place the forefoot of the front leg against the wall with the heel on the floor and push the front knee towards the wall
- Hold for 30-50 seconds repeat 3 times one each leg
How Often?
3 times each side, twice daily
