Description:

Gastrocnemius and soleus stretches, prone, with partner

  • Client in prone position on massage bed.
  • For gastrocnemius, the client’s leg is extended off the end of the massage bad. For soleus, the client’s knee is flexed.
  • Trainer offer resistance against isometric contract with forearms/body. Client attempts to plantar-flex foot while trainer resists.
  • Client holds isometric contraction for 6 seconds.
  • Client then contracts opposing muscles while putting foot deeper into dorsiflexion, keeping the knee extended for gastrocnemius and flexed for soleus.
  • Hold the stretch for 10-30 seconds depending on ability.
  • Repeat until stretch is held for about 40 seconds.
  • When engaging in any partner PNF, communication about pain/discomfort it crucial. Position the mirror to see the client’s face and pain should not be felt during the movement.
