One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.

    As someone who had to have a gastrocnemius recession, I feel your pain. The flex of your feet are controlled by the soleus when sitting and gastrocnemius when standing. To save you a horrific search, my tendons are too short and had to be lengthened.

    I still go on my toes if I am trying to balance or the tendons aren’t quite warmed up yet in the morning. Standing with my heels down for long periods is still not comfortable, but I can at least walk around all day without collapsing. Not the same thing, but I get the being on your toes being comfortable.
