4. The Heel Press
The heel press technique focuses on relieving tension in the lower leg and the back of the foot. While seated, press your heel firmly into the ground, gradually increasing the pressure. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then release. Next, lift your heel while keeping your toes on the ground to stretch the calf muscle. This exercise is particularly beneficial for individuals with plantar fasciitis or heel pain and can be performed multiple times throughout the day. Alternating between short, light presses and longer, steady pressure enhances the technique's effectiveness. This variation stimulates different pressure points and muscle groups in the feet. When combined with proper posture, the heel press is highly effective and can be done discreetly without removing your shoes.
