Demonstration and Instructions
|
|
|
Tie theraband or tubing to table leg or sturdy object. Sit on floor with band around front of foot, keeping your foot slightly in plantar flexion (foot you are exercising should be furthest away the anchor point).
Slowly turn your foot in towards the other foot, then outwards pulling against the band. Make sure you dont let your knee roll inwards or outwards so all the movement comes from the ankle. Special Notes
Keeping your foot slightly in plantar flexion will stop your body using the tibialis anterior too much.
