EXERCISE USE

The eccentric calf raise is part of the eccentric program designed for Achilles Tendinopathy but can also be used for calf muscle injuries, tears and and other lower limb muscle rehab and re-education like with knee surgery, ankle sprains and other ankle tendon injuries.

INSTRUCTIONS Stand with your weight evenly distributed through both feet. Keeping your knees straight slowly raise up onto your toes, keeping your weight even through the balls of your feet. Hold at the top of the range keeping your knee locked straight and without letting yourself lower take one foot off the ground. Then SLOWLY lower yourself down to the ground over 3 secs on ONE leg.
SPECIAL NOTES If you need a slight level down try the alterative exercise where you are assisted from the other leg on the the eccentric phase.
