Exercise Guides

Stretching

Plantar Fascia Stretch

Use the steeper angle on the back of the Scalene Slant Board for a single leg plantar fascia stretch. The incline naturally extends the toes and loads the plantar fascia.

💡 The stretch should feel comfortable, not forced. Avoid bouncing or pushing into pain.

Stretching

Calf Stretching

Perform single or double leg calf stretches on the slant board. Two variations: bent knee targets the soleus and helps ankle dorsiflexion, straight knee targets the gastrocnemius.

💡 Use both bent and straight knee variations for a complete calf stretch targeting all muscles.

Strengthening

Calf Raises

Perform double or single leg calf raises on the slant board with straight or bent knees. Improves calf and foot strength, and overall foot and ankle function.

💡 Progress from double leg to single leg as strength improves. Use a wall for balance if needed.

Strengthening

Squats

Great for quadriceps and glute strengthening. The slant board reduces the ankle mobility required to achieve full depth, making squats more accessible.

💡 The incline allows a more upright torso position, helping those with limited ankle dorsiflexion achieve better squat depth.
