Fortunately, gentle stretching and strengthening exercises are commonly recommended as part of conservative management.
Here are seven movements you can try.
1. Towel Stretch
This simple stretch targets the calf and bottom of the foot.
Sit on the floor or bed with your leg extended in front of you. Place a towel around the ball of your foot and gently pull it toward your body while keeping your knee relatively straight.
You should feel a gentle stretch through your calf and foot.
Hold for about 15–30 seconds, relax, and repeat.
