Sit on the floor or a bed with your leg stretched out in front of you.
Bend your leg, sliding your heel in towards your buttock a little.
Interlace your fingers and wrap them around the ball of your foot.
If you cannot do this, you can use a belt to reach around the ball of your foot.
Flex your ankle a little to bring your foot up towards you.
With your arms straight, press down through the ball of your foot into your fingers.
Hold this position.
Relax the pressure in your foot but not the position you hold your foot in.
Pull your foot in towards you a little to stretch your calf.
Repeat in this new position.
