Video 467 | Ankle Mobility (45 Minutes) with Lauren Eirk
Lower Leg and Foot • 18-Sep-2023
From a seated position, we begin the workout with a range of motion assessment in:
plantarflexion / dorsiflexion
eversion / inversion
abduction / adduction
With direction about where you feel limited, we will practice several ankle mobility exercises that are designed to improve muscular responsiveness, from standing, seated, and single leg balance exercises. As muscles become more activated, we will move to exercises with added load and quicker transitioning.
