WHY IS ANKLE STRENGTH IMPORTANT?
The ankle is the very first joint that ties our feet to our body. It’s quite literally “where the rubber hits the road” and is responsible for so much of our function. Standing, walking, running, sprinting, cutting, and jumping are all made possible by our ankle joint.

Of course with these increasing levels of demand also comes an increased risk for injury. Many of the athletic injuries I treat as a physical therapist take place in the foot and ankle.

What’s the best way to eliminate these injuries and help your ankle function better? Ankle strengthening.

Strengthening the muscles that control your foot and ankle to provide maximum stability to the joint is the best way to prevent injuries from happening. This is especially true if you’re susceptible to ankle sprains/injuries (i.e. you’ve experienced injuries in the past).

HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR ANKLE
Now let’s be clear about our words here - your ankle is a JOINT and therefore we cannot actually “strengthen” it in the traditional sense. But what we can do is strengthen all the MUSCLES that CONTROL this joint to improve stability and function.

And that’s exactly what you’re going to get with this video!

These are 10 of my favorite exercises that you can do right at home to strengthen your ankles, decrease likelihood of injury, and keep your ankles healthy!
