The heel prop exercise is a low-load, long-duration stretch performed with the patient lying supine and the heels propped on a bolster high enough to allow the knees to fall into hyperextension. Light ankle weights may be placed over the leg proximal and distal to the knee to increase the intensity of the stretch.
