How to do it
Stand a few centimetres from the wall and drive the knee to it over the second toe. ⚠️ The heel must stay down; if it lifts, start closer.
Default dose
2 × 10 · each side
This is the library's default dose. Each person's programme is set after assessment, around the grade of their finding and their own conditions and limits.
Where it sits in a programme: Lengthen
The second phase is lengthening: stretching a muscle or tissue that has shortened, so the joint regains the range it needs for a better posture.
Which postural findings it is prescribed for
It appears in programmes the tool prescribes after a musculoskeletal assessment.
Take care
- In the acute phase of a fresh injury, this exercise is taken off the programme.
- If the movement causes pain or makes pain worse, stop and contact the clinic or your doctor.
