Wow thank you this is very useful!!
Perhaps i should post my current stretching routin so yall can give me input
But so far what i’ve been doing is every hour i’ll go stand on the board for 12 minutes. 6 mins is a dedicated achilles area stretch (you bend you knee and push it forward) and other 6 minutes is a straight leg stretch for the upper calf area
So far i’ve been hitting it every hour so in a day roughly 8-12 times so total stretch time would be.. 12x10 120 mins so 2 hours!! Wow i’m slacking
Can I get more information? Did he just stand on it what was the strategy? Is there a forum
Thank you so much i really wanna hit as close to 8 as possible
He continued standing calf stretch with a wedge for about an hour or so depending on the muscle condition; when muscle started to shake, he stopped stretching and had some minutes of break, repeated this at least several time a day
Also used leg press machine to stretch knees, pushing away and holding the heavy board with straight legs
never stopped stretching exercise even when he had pin site infections
It’s super painful to do exercise with infections but continued with oxycodone or some injections
when he started having slight contracture in his knees towards the end of lengthening, he spent more time on leg press machine with sand bags to push down knees
At Donghoon hosp they give PT sessions 5 times a week for 4 months
They change programs depending on each patient since the conditions of patients vary and not the same for everyone
Donghoon also doesn’t allow patients to continue lengthening when there’s no ankle dorsiflexion
For him to reach 7.6 cm, it took about 6months
After the 4 months, he took PT sessions a few times a week
