That is what my client said when she was performing the seated calf raise exercise.
I replied, “No. You are moving the exact amount you should be.”
Do you feel that way sometimes too?
Do you feel like you ๐—ฆ๐—›๐—ข๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—— be able to go farther?

Why?
What makes you believe you should be able to move farther than you can?
๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฐ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€:
1. Others can move farther than you so you think you should be able to move farther too.
2. You recall being able to move farther in your past so you think you should still be able to move that far.
3. You think farther is better
4. You can’t think of a reason why you shouldn’t move farther.

1. Your tissue health (bone, tendon, ligament, muscle, capsule, cartilage, etc.)
2. The amount you can move is influenced by many factors. Here are a few:
A. The weight you are using.
B.The position you are in and the path you are moving through.
C.Your skeletal structure.
D.Your injury history.
3. The amount you can move is often not the same on both sides (and very often that’s ok).
