This document was developed in partnership with the physiotherapists at Butterfly Therapy. It provides a visual and written guide for long leg stretching. This type of stretching is good for children with muscle tightness in the calf (gastrocs and soles) and/or hamstrings. Long leg stretching is often suggested for children with spasticity, as seen in cerebral palsy. Speak to your orthotist or physiotherapist to learn more about what long leg stretching is appropriate for you or your child.
