The seated calf raise with elastic band is an effective exercise to strengthen your calf muscles and improve ankle mobility. This exercise is particularly suitable in the early phase of your rehabilitation because you can dose the resistance yourself and have full control over the movement. The seated position allows you to perform the exercise safely without putting strain on your leg. The calf raise activates both deep and superficial calf muscles, improves blood circulation and helps reduce swelling. This exercise forms an important basis for restoring your gait and preparing for more taxing exercises.
Strength exercise for the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) and activate the pumping muscle/lymph system.
This exercise is suitable to activate shortly after knee or ankle surgery and helps restore calf strength and reduce swelling in affected area.
