In this YouTube short, Christopher Ellis outlines a step‑by‑step heel‑raise rehabilitation program. He advises starting with pain‑free basic activity and only progressing when the movement feels easy and pain‑free. The next phase introduces eccentric (negative) heel raises, often performed as a 2‑up, 1‑down pattern where both heels rise together and the injured leg lowers slowly. After mastering eccentrics, the protocol moves to concentric strengthening—the classic heel‑raise workout. Finally, once strength and comfort are restored, explosive or dynamic heel‑raise training can be added. The video emphasizes gradual progression, listening to pain signals, and using specific movement cues to ensure safe recovery.
