Roll up a small towel. Stand facing a counter or a stable chair, holding on for balance. Put the rolled towel on the floor and stand with the toes of your sore foot on it, so that they bend upwards. Slowly rise onto the balls of both feet. Hold for two seconds at the top. Then lower slowly.
If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
