I'm sure the PT tech told you this but keep your body square to the chair and make sure you keep your back as straight as possible. I do something similar but I put my heel on the 2nd or 3rd step to my second floor and bend forward at the hips keeping my back straight and body square to the steps. It doesn't take much bending to really feel a pull. My advice is don't give up on the PT. Give it several weeks and make sure you're doing the stretches properly. It's like weight lifting, without proper form you won't do much good. Good luck and hope the PT works well for you.
