Knee
Heel slide
Regains bending after injury or surgery
How to do it
- 1Lie on your back with legs straight.
- 2Slide the heel of the affected leg towards your buttock, bending the knee as far as comfortable.
- 3Hold 5 seconds at the end of the range.
- 4Slide back slowly. A towel under the heel makes it easier.
A stretching feeling is fine; sharp pain is not.
