Starting position:
Lie on your back with the affected limb supported in a straight leg raise position and the ankle in dorsiflexion.
Assistant / therapist manually moves the hip and knee into flexion and then back to the start position (supported straight leg raise, knee extended). Keep the other joints still. Alternate between these two positions.
The technique should be painless.
The movements should only be taken to the point where the patient begins to feel something.
