First PT appointment!! and weak toes

Morning,

I had my first PT appointment yesterday and I think it went pretty well.  The therapist massaged the tendon which felt great, she put some heat on it then used the ulta sound machine which also felt pretty good.  Next she had me flex my foot up and down and took some measurements after which she started to push my foot forward.  The pushing of the foot was pretty scary but it didnt hurt.  I did however feel what felt like some separation in my heal but still no pain.  She had me do a few exercises on my own(all of which i had already started thanks to the great info here)  gave me 10 minutes of electrotherapy/ice and send me home.  One thing that bothers me is that my toes are really weak.  I tried to do the move the towel on the floor thing and it wasnt happening.  Has anyone else had trouble with ROM in the toes? I cant bend my big toe at all..
