Soleus raise
A bent-knee calf raise for the soleus: a deep calf muscle that is often forgotten, but works hard every time you walk or climb the stairs.

Keep your knees slightly bent the whole time.
How to do it
- Stand facing a kitchen counter, holding on lightly.
- Bend your knees slightly and keep them bent.
- Rise up onto your toes, slowly.
- Lower your heels slowly back down.
Respect pain. This should feel like work for your muscles, not pain in your knee. If it hurts, do fewer, move through a smaller range, or skip it today and tell your physiotherapist.
