> 2 -- with the extensions start with two leg extensions, three sets of 15
> repetitions on 30s rest between sets.  You can build up to 3x30 and
> ultimately single leg extensions.  It is not necessary to progress to single
> leg extensions but if you do... be careful I totally blew out my calves with
> them.  Thinking that I was Superman, I started with single leg extensions.
> Now I just do the double legs.
>
> 3 -- I do the stretching and the exercises even on the days when I have no
> symptoms.  They are quite easy so I do them for insurance.
>
> 4 -- for day to day treatment -- slight heel lifts inside your shoes change
> the angle of your foot and can aid recovery.
>
> 5 -- for chronic cases -- a night split to hold the foot dorsi-flexed can
> also be effective.
