After ankle injury this exercise can be used to restore range of movement into Inversion and Eversion as well as retrain and activate the tendons and muscles around the ankle joint.

Sit with your leg straight out in front of you resting on your heel. Slowly bring the sole of you foot inwards (big toe moving across your body) as far as you can or to where you start to feel pain. Reverse this and slowly move your foot so the sole is facing outwards (little toe move away). It is important that you perform these movements without moving your leg so you may need to clench your qaudriceps (thigh) to keep your knee still. Keep your foot slightly in plantar flexion so you don't use the fron of your shin do to the work.
