3 Ankle Exercises for Runners who Roll their Ankles

As a runner who’s experienced a LOT of rolled ankles, Dr. Steve is strict about staying on top of his ankle strengthening routine

Here are 3 simple banded ankle exercises that Dr. Steve does himself & with his patients who love running as much as he does.

  1. Hip Abduction/Extension: Stand with the bad around your ankles. Shift your weight onto one one foot keeping your hips level. Kick side then back in a slow controlled manner. 
  2. Eccentric Inversion: Cross one leg over the other with the band anchored by stepping on it. Use your hand to bring your foot up as high as you can. Slowly resist the band pulling you to the floor. Eccentric means only working the negative part of the motion. 
  3. Plantar Flexion: Wrap the band around the ball of your foot holding tight with both hands. Press down like pushing a gas pedal. Slowly release. 

Which is your favorite - 1, 2, or 3?
