✅ How to Use Your Axis Calf Stretch Board

🔹 1. Static Calf Stretch (Daily Mobility)

Recommended: 3 minutes morning & evening
Goal: Lengthen calves & Achilles to restore ankle mobility.

• Position: Place the board against a wall or stable surface. Stand tall with your core engaged and spine neutral. Feet parallel, facing straight ahead.
• Stretch intensity: Moderate stretch (max 70%), never painful. Feel firm but comfortable tension.
• Tips: Breathe deeply, relax into the stretch, and be consistent—progress takes time.

---

🔹 2. Incline Calf Raises (Strength Progression)

Goal: Build strength through full ankle range, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance.

• Set-up: Stand on the board, feet forward, holding a wall for balance.
• Progression: Start with slow double-leg raises, progressing to single-leg as strength improves.
• Tips: Lower heels slowly for controlled eccentric load. Pause briefly at the top for full contraction.

---

🔹 3. Heel-Elevated Squats & Step-Downs

Goal: Improve quad loading, ankle mobility, and knee control in compound movements.

• Set-up: Stand with heels elevated, toes lower. Feet hip-width, facing forward.
• Use cases: Perform heel-elevated squats to target quads and improve ankle range. Use step-downs to build knee control in functional ranges.

---

🔹 4. Heel-Elevated Lunges (Front Foot on Board)

Goal: Increase dorsiflexion control, strength, and dynamic movement confidence.

• Set-up: Front foot on the board (heel high, toes low). Rear foot flat or on toes as preferred.
• Execution: Lunge forward slowly, maintain alignment, and focus on calf and hip control under load.

⚠️ Safety Notes
