- sit on the floor with your affected leg straight and resting on the floor.
- place a towel around your affected foot.
- hold one end of the towel in each hand.
- pull back gently with the towel so that you feel a stretch in your calf.
- hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds.
- repeat 2 to 4 times.
- it's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
