Postpartum Return to Run Readiness Screen: Single Leg Heel Raise
The Single Leg Heel Raise is a key exercise in the Postpartum Return to Run Readiness Screen, assessing calf strength, balance, and lower body stability.
Perform the movement on one leg and monitor for pelvic pressure, leakage, pain, or fatigue.
Struggling with control or noticing symptoms?
Strength and stability work can help build a strong foundation for running.
How did it go? Any differences from left v. right?
