Ankle Dorsiflexion Mobilization - Dynamic, Box
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Get your foot set-up and supported on an elevated surface while balancing on the other leg. To perform the mobilization, bring your knee and shin bone forward over your toes while keeping your heel down on the ground. Follow along with the video to learn how to change the angle and direction based on what you need to improve with your ankle mobility.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your calf and your ankle, you shouldn't feel a pinching pain in the front of your ankle, if you do back off and don't put as much pressure or weight through your foot.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your entire heel flat on the ground as best as you can
