Stand next to a kitchen counter or a sturdy chair and hold on with one hand. Move your weight onto your sore foot and lift the other foot a little off the floor. Keep the knee of the standing leg soft, not locked. Hold for the time shown, then rest. If you lose your balance, put your foot down and hold on.
If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
