| 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.
Gastrocnemius and soleus stretches, seated, with stretching strap
- Stretches can be done similar to above with stretching strap in seated position or done against wall in standing position.
- 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.
