              - Sit on the floor with your affected leg straight and resting on the floor.
        
      
 
              - Place a towel around your affected foot.
        
      
 
              - Hold one end of the towel in each hand.
        
      
 
              - Pull back gently with the towel so that you feel a stretch in your calf.
        
      
 
              - Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds.
        
      
 
              - Repeat 2 to 4 times.
        
      
 
              - It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
