  1. Set

    Sit on a stable chair. Extend the working leg with the heel on the floor. Loop a towel around the ball of the bare foot.

  2. 1

    Draw the towel ends gently toward you. Let the toes point toward the shin.

    Hold a light calf stretch. Keep the knee softly straight and heel down.

    Ease the towel forward and relax the ankle.

  5. Switch sides and repeat.

Take care. Use a small, comfortable movement. Do not force a joint. Stop if you feel pain.
