Calf Muscle Strengthening Exercises for Arthritis Pain Relief

Hi! I am Monica and this is the last exercise that I am going to show you for arthritis is going to be more for the arthritis of the knee and it is going to be a calf strengthening exercise. So what you are going to want to do is do it bent leg first, and I will show you straight leg version, but have your feet underneath the chair right upon your toes so that your heels are kind off the ground a little bit and then just lifting your heels off the ground. So nice and slow, nice and controlled, again it is a great strengthening exercise to do for your calves because you are not putting weight to your knees since you are standing. So you should be able to tolerate a lot better than if your are going to do a standing exercise, just up and down. You can put more weight just by leaning on your knees more. The other version you can do is with your knees straight you need to grab a belt or a long towel of some kind, you are going to stick it around your toes, straighten your leg and then just slowly try and push your toe or point your toe while giving yourself a little bit of resistance through the belt right like that.
