How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Sit with one leg supported and loop a light resistance band around the forefoot, anchoring or holding it so it opposes the first ankle movement.
- 02Stabilize the shin and perform plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion in sequence, repositioning the band so it resists each direction.
- 03Move only at the ankle, keeping the knee and hip still and using a smooth range rather than allowing the band to pull the foot.
- 04Pause briefly at the end of each repetition, then return slowly to neutral while maintaining band tension and avoiding pain.
- 05Completing the prescribed repetitions in all four directions counts as one set; repeat the set on the other ankle.
