Heel Rise Toe Touches
Exercise Overview
This is a posterior chain stretch that uses a yoga block to help you reach your toes. The yoga block acts to shorten the back fascial lines so that you experience less tension as you reach for your toes. Place the yoga block or stepper just under your heels. Place another yoga block or foam roller between the knees and squeeze it to stabilize the legs and hips. Bend forward to reach your toes and hold for up to 10 seconds before coming up and repeating.
