  "description": "Stand on a stair or step with the balls of both feet on the edge and heels hanging off the back. Hold the railing or wall for balance and let your heels sink below the step level under body weight to stretch the calf. Keep the back knee straight to bias the gastrocnemius, then bend it slightly to target the deeper soleus.",

Perform once or twice daily; accumulating roughly 2-3 minutes per calf per session is a reasonable target. Stretch to gentle tension, never sharp pain, and ease off if there is nerve tingling or numbness in the foot."

  "usage": "Evidence: moderate. This is a passive/gravity-driven static stretch, so target muscle EMG activity should stay low; the posterior calf (gastrocnemius, soleus) is under passive tension rather than active contraction. Excessive gripping or high plantarflexor EMG during the hold indicates the patient is guarding and should be cued to relax and let body weight lower the heel.",
