Thanks to Egoscue Nashville for the great Gravity Drop video.
Gravity Drop
1. Wearing rubber soled shoes for traction (tennis shoes, etc.) stand on a step or stairway as though you were climbing upward
* Keep your feet parallel, and hip width apart
* Hold onto a railing or other object for support
2. Edge your feet backward until your heels are off the stairs and you are hanging onto the stair with the balls of your feet
* Make sure the your feet remain pointed straight ahead
3. Let the weight of your body drop your heels off the stair
* You will feel a significant stretch in your lower legs
4. Hold
Purpose: This exercise forces proper loading of all the load joints of the body by physically stacking them one atop the other
