In Pelvic Stabilization #6 Heel Raises III, what movement is described?

• A. Quick bouncing with knee flexion and hip rotation.
• B. Bent-knee hip hinge with pelvis rounding.
• C. Simple controlled lower/lift of the heels with straight knees; focus on foot and ankle articulation.
• D. Static hold with toes flexed and ankles pronated.

Answer: (C)

This describes a controlled heel raise that isolates the ankle and foot. The movement is a smooth, deliberate lowering and lifting of the heels with the knees kept straight, so the work comes from the ankle and foot articulations (planta rflexion and dorsiflexion) while the pelvis and core stay stable. It isn’t about bouncing, knee bending, or hip twisting, and it isn’t a static hold.
