ANKLE SWAYS

This exercise aims to increase load tolerance and capacity through the ankle following an ankle sprain injury. Use a strength band or exercise band by looping it around your foot while grabbing the ends with your hands. From here, straighten out your knee to add tension to the band and slowly sway your foot side to side. Do not let the band rapidly pull your foot into either direction, this movement should be done slowly and within a comfortable range of motion.

Muscles Involved:

  • Tibialis Posterior

  • Tibialis Anterior

  • Peroneals

Related Conditions:

  • Peroneal Strain

  • Chronic Ankle Sprain

  • Eversion Ankle Sprain

  • Inversion Ankle Sprain
