SLANT BOARD TOE RAISES

This is a strengthening exercise for the ankle dorsiflexors. Start by setting up a slant board about 4-6 inches away from the wall. Put the incline of the slant board to roughly 30-40 degrees. Stand on the slant board while supporting your pelvis against the wall. Proceed to raise your toes off of the slant board as far as you can and hold for up to 5 seconds. Slowly lower the forefoot back down to the surface of the slant board to complete a repetition.
