Starting position:
Lie on your back with the affected side in a supported straight leg raise position, with hip in flexion, knee in extension and ankle in plantar flexion.
Assistant / therapist manually supports the limb and moves the ankle into dorsiflexion and then back into plantar flexion. Keep the other joints still. Alternate between these two positions.
The technique should be painless.
The movements should only be taken to the point where the patient begins to feel something.
