ANKLE MOBILITY EXERCISES FOR STIFF ANKLES ✌️
Limited ankle mobility has been associated with a whole host of lower extremity injuries including plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, calf strains, shin splints, patellofemoral pain, IT band syndrome, and so on.
Additionally, limited ankle mobility will show up in every day tasks such as walking, climbing the stairs, and during sporting activities such as achieving correct squatting technique and running.
Here are a few ways to mobilise the ankle to improve your range of motion:
1. The Joint
2. The Soft Tissue
⚠️The Ankle is one of the hardest joints to gain / regain mobility in and will need:
👉Daily Consistent Work
👉Mobility Work Needs Repetition - lots of repetitions
👉You then need to use your new range of motion in a variety of actives otherwise you’ll lose the benefit of the mobility work
👉After your mobility work spend some time barefoot, climbing the stairs, walking on the beach, climbing some hills - mix it up.
Have fun
