Stand up straight close to a wall or solid supporting surface.
Place a foam balance mat on the floor in front of you.
Step onto the balance mat with your affected foot, using the wall to balance as needed.
Try to let go of the wall while keeping your balance.
Ensure you keep your gaze straight ahead, and your thigh and buttock muscles strong.
Using your other foot, try to tap the floor around you with your toes.
Imagine you are trying to touch the numbers of a clock face.
