Slant Board Straight-Leg Calf Stretch & Raise
Stand tall on a slant board with knees locked out. Shift hips forward to load deep calf stretch, optionally performing slow calf raises through full range. Key points: - Keep knees locked out straight to target the gastrocnemius - Shift hips forward over the ankles to deepen the stretch - Actively engage and flex the calf muscles rather than resting passively Common mistakes: Bending the knees or allowing heels to lift off the board during the stretch.
