Strengthen the muscles in the ankle with resistance band exercises. Strong ankle muscles improve lower body biomechanics and help prevent injuries. Strengthening the tibialis posterior<\/a> helps prevent the painful and performance limiting condition known as shin splints.<\/a> Strengthening the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis<\/a> muscles helps build ankle joint stability thus reducing the risk of lateral ankle sprains<\/a> and peroneal tendinopathy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tibialis Posterior Strengthening: Resistance band ankle plantar flexion & inversion<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit in good posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross working leg over non-working leg. Non-working foot flat on floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lateral ankle of working leg rests on distal anterior thigh of non-working leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resistance band wrapped around midfoot<\/a> of both feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantar flex and invert ankle against resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly return to starting position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build to fifteen repetitions bilaterally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ankle Eversion:<\/strong> Peroneal Muscles Strengthening Exercise.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit in good posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold foot of working leg a few inches off floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrap resistance band around midfoot<\/a> of working leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure opposite end of resistance band to a sturdy structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mild tension should exist in band at starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evert ankle through a pain free range of motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold an isometric contraction for two to six seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move slowly back to starting position by controlling eccentric motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build to fifteen reps bilaterally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthen your ankles using a resistance band. Perform resisted ankle exercises<\/a> to build strength, increase function, improve lower body biomechanics and prevent injuries. Ankle strengthening exercises help to prevent and rehabilitate injuries such as lateral ankle sprains<\/a>, high ankle sprains,<\/a> shin splints,<\/a> calf muscle strains<\/a>, tarsal tunnel syndrome,<\/a> plantar fasciitis<\/a>, Achilles tendinopathy<\/a> and peroneal tendinopathy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
