Sit on a chair. Cross your sore foot over your other knee. Hold the toes of your sore foot with your hand. Gently pull your toes back towards your shin, until you feel a stretch under the arch of your foot. Hold, then relax. The stretch should feel firm, not sharp.
If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
