'Bent Knee Calve Raises is a Resilience Exercise that enhances ankle strength by developing foot and lower leg muscles to engage, stabilize, and function at full range of motion. CUES: 1️⃣ Stand about arms length from the wall and bend knees as close to the floor/wall as you can with heels on the ground. Keep posture straight while pushing through big toe and mid foot to raise heels off the ground. Knees remain bent, the whole body is raised while in the same position as from the start. 2️⃣ Lower heels back to the ground slowly (eccentrically) and feel the bottom of foot through the heel, Achilles, and calve all contract together to raise heels off the ground. It can help to squeeze the heels together creating a connection for both feet and ankles to work together. Also, contracting the glues to keep the hips forward helps maintain body position and balance.'
